Clinical Application
This guide needle is intended to facilitate controlled passage of suture, leader wires, or retention devices through soft tissue during wound closure. Its 8 Fr profile and 20 cm working length make it useful for percutaneous and subcutaneous applications where a low-profile, steerable path is needed to minimize tissue trauma and to deliver sutures along a planned tract for layered or deep closures.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry and 20 cm length provide predictable trajectory and reach for both superficial and deeper wounds. The 8 Fr diameter maintains a slim profile to reduce tissue disruption while allowing passage of commonly used suture leaders and monofilament threads. A defined hub and handling zone improve control and facilitate one-handed manipulation during suture placement and retrieval.
