Quadcut blades​

Real relief from blade clogging​

Powered FESS is an important advancement in surgical treatment, yet some challenges remain. Medtronic engineers continually strive to enhance technology, for improved operative efficiency.​

The innovative Quadcut™ blades offer:​

  • Design for reduced blade clogging over the Tricut™ Blades1,2*†​

  • Design for better engagement of ethmoid bone1,2*†​
