The Centerline™ System raises the bar for endoscopic soft tissue procedures by increasing safety, visualization, ergonomics and reducing the possibility of mechanical failures. 
 

Benefits: 

Safety – Centerline puts the surgeon in position to make the cut. By putting the surgeon’s hand in line with the blade, better control is afforded. 
 

Simplified – Straightforward instrumentation and a disposable blade mechanism that contains all moving parts, will speed procedures and lessen the chance for mechanical failures and maintenance issues. 
 

Straightforward – Single-handed, pull-blade technique enables a quick and exact technique. 
 

Optimal Comfort – Ergonomic design for better feel and function during the procedure. 
 

Convenient – Sterile single use disposable blade sheath streamlines OR and facility handling

Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release Using the Centerline™

Borders of your calcaneus plantar fascia will be attaching right about here. So we'll make a small incision right in this area. Take our. Hemostat and open this up. Use blunt dissection down to the plantar fascia. Once you find that. Develop that interval. You can feel that snap. Kind of like a rubber band as you dorsiflex the first met. So once that's developed. Use the center line with arthroscope. Place that into the tissue. So we go up to the edge of the plantar fascia. And our goal is not to cut the entire thing, but to cut the medial one half. So here you can watch your blade and you have your assistant dorsiflex the foot here you can watch that. You can go back. See those fibers. Most medial fibers. Right down to the muscle. So you can go back and make sure that you've cut the adequate fibers. Down where you need to. You have gapping. And lengthening the benefits of the Centerline device are that it's a single portal. It's a very small incision that can be used to do the procedure. There's an integrated scope and blade for single handed control. The blade is deployable by the surgeon for maximal safety only when needed. And there's a clear cannula that can be used for maximal visibility. You can see the surrounding tissue and you can see the lengthening. You can piston back and forth to make sure that you have the adequate lengthening once that ankle is dorsiflexed.

Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Recession Using the Centerline™

Okay, so we're looking at a gastrocnemius recession here. Our first technique that we're going to work on is the strayer technique, which is a distal procedure here at the runout of the gastroc into the soleus. So we find the gastroc muscle right here, find where it ends, and then we go down here. This is going to be our site of incision. We're using the Centerline device here. So we're going to try to keep our incision actually smaller than we normally make. And we're going to do this endoscopically. And we find the Achilles tendon portion and reach underneath. In our attempts to find this interval. So we're staying behind the saphenous vein. And we're staying in this subcu layer. So then once we find the fascia. We're making a very small incision here. So the Centerline device is used here. Reach underneath the fascia. There we go. So you can visualize the entire length of the gastroc runout. It's ending right about there. This goes all the way across as far as we can get. You can reach and you can see the end of the fibers there. Then the the blade is employed. Pressure is held on the foot. Dorsiflexing it just a little bit until you get some tension. And then the blade is used to cut the fibers. You can always hear that go. So you can visualize the cut all the way across here. So hold the foot where it is. We'll make the last little cut here, and then we'll go back. And see whether or not we've gotten what we want. And here you can see. The cut from the lateral side. You can go back and get any little fibers that you want to get. Usually there's a little sulcus here that you want to cut there. There's nothing to show that you can go back and get the remaining fibers to. Yep. So you can see everything separate there. So you hardly ever do just one pass with this. Usually you're going to have to go and make a couple passes to make sure that you get everything. And that's very minimally invasive way of. Going in doing your procedure and then making sure that you're getting the length thing. So this is where you have your assistant dorsiflex the ankle and to the correction that you want. And you can see the separating fibers here all the way through. You can sweep from side to side from proximal to distal. If you find a couple fibers as you find here, you can deploy the knife. Cut the fibers as you would like. So there we got a complete lengthening from one side to the other, completely visualized with a very small incision. The benefits of the Centerline device are that it's a single portal. It's a very small incision that can be used to do the procedure. There's an integrated scope and blade for single handed control. The blade is deployable by the surgeon for maximal safety only when needed, and there's a clear cannula that can be used for maximal visibility. You can see the surrounding tissue and you can see the lengthening. You can piston back and forth to make sure that you have the adequate lengthening once that ankle is dorsiflexed.
