An arthroscopic shaver is a surgical instrument employed during arthroscopic procedures to trim, cut, or eliminate damaged tissue or debris from within a joint. It generally comprises a small, rotating blade encased in a tube-like device, enabling precise and minimally invasive treatment of joint ailments.
Arthroscopic shavers are categorized into two main types arthroscopic shaver systems and arthroscopic shaver accessories. Arthroscopic shaver systems are medical tools utilized in minimally invasive surgeries to extract damaged tissue and debris from joints such as the knee, shoulder, and hip. These systems typically consist of a handpiece equipped with rotating blades, suction for debris removal, and controls for adjusting blade speed and direction. Applications encompass knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, spine, foot, ankle arthroscopy, among others. End users include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and orthopedic clinics.

The arthroscopic shavers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.96 billion in 2024 to $2.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising sports injuries, an aging population, healthcare infrastructure development, patient preference for minimally invasive surgeries, and the and the growing adoption of outpatient and ambulatory surgical centers.
The arthroscopic shavers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an aging population, an expansion of healthcare infrastructure, an increasing preference for disposable and single-use surgical instruments, strategic partnerships and collaborations, and rising demand for outpatient services. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of robotics, personalized medicine, advancements in minimally invasive surgery, the adoption of single-use instruments, and portable arthroscopic shavers.
The arthroscopic shaver market is expected to grow due to an increasing number of sports-related injuries. These injuries, occurring during athletic activities or exercise and affecting muscles, bones, and joints, have risen globally. Factors contributing to this trend include heightened participation in sports, more intense training methods, and advancements in sports equipment that push physical limits. Arthroscopic shavers play a crucial role in treating these injuries by removing damaged tissue and repairing joint structures through minimally invasive procedures. This approach promotes faster recovery times and reduces downtime for athletes. For example, according to the National Safety Council, sports and recreational injuries reported in 2020 increased by 20% in 2021 and by an additional 12% in 2022, underscoring the market's growth driven by the rising incidence of sports-related injuries.
Leading companies in the arthroscopic shaver market are focusing on technological advancements, such as wireless single-use shaver systems, to enhance surgical efficiency and patient outcomes. A wireless single-use shaver system is a disposable, battery-powered surgical tool used in minimally invasive joint procedures. It operates wirelessly, improving surgical efficiency and reducing infection risks. For instance, Integrated Endoscopy partnered with Frii Medical in January 2024 to launch a proprietary single-use shaver system globally. This innovative system eliminates sterilization costs, offers the convenience of wireless operation, and ensures consistent quality with a reusable motor/battery module and recharger station. Such advancements are reshaping the market by providing surgeons with enhanced operational flexibility and reducing traditional system expenses.
In July 2022, Skytron LLC, a U.S.-based manufacturer and distributor of advanced medical equipment and solutions for global healthcare facilities, entered into a partnership with Arthrex Inc. This collaboration integrates Arthrex's minimally invasive surgical technologies with Skytron's healthcare efficiency solutions. The partnership aims to offer hospitals and surgery centers fully integrated total-room solutions, enhancing operational efficiency and extending surgical capabilities. Arthrex Inc., also based in the U.S., specializes in medical devices including arthroscopic shavers and surgical instruments.
