Guide Needle for Wound Closure 10Fr. 20cm

Clinical Application

This guide needle is intended to assist soft-tissue wound closure by providing a controlled percutaneous channel for suture passage, tunneling, or introduction of drains and tubing. It is used in ambulatory and operating room settings for primary wound closure, delayed closure, repair of dehisced wounds, and placement of small-bore drains where precise percutaneous guidance reduces tissue trauma and facilitates accurate suture placement.

Design & Configuration

The 10Fr profile balances a modest outer diameter with sufficient internal passage to accept common suture leaders and small drains while minimizing tissue disruption. The 20 cm length gives reach for most superficial and deeper wound beds encountered in general, plastic, and minor surgical procedures. The needle's form factor supports tactile control during passage and enables controlled tunneling for subcutaneous suture placement or drain routing.
