Durham Tonsil needle right 25cm

Clinical Application

Designed for ENT procedures, this Durham tonsil needle provides controlled suture placement in the oropharynx during tonsillectomy and related pharyngeal procedures. The right-curved configuration is optimized for approaching the right tonsillar fossa and for placing deep ligatures or through-and-through stitches where a long working length and directional control are required.

Design & Configuration

The 25 cm length gives extended reach into the oral cavity and oropharynx while maintaining tactile control at the handle. The rightward curve aligns the needle trajectory with right-sided tonsillar anatomy, reducing the need for instrument repositioning and minimizing soft-tissue retraction. The Durham pattern is engineered to carry suture reliably through dense tonsillar tissue and into the desired plane with predictable needle travel and minimal tissue drag.
