Overholt Diss. and Ligature Fcps 21cm Fig.3

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled blunt dissection and secure handling of ligatures, this instrument is used to isolate and pass sutures or ties around vessels and tubular structures in confined operative fields. Common procedural uses include vessel ligation, mobilization of delicate tissues, and retrieval or placement of sutures in general, vascular and thoracic surgeries where precise, low‑trauma manipulation is required.

Design & Configuration

The long shaft provides reach into deep or narrow operative sites while the ratcheted locking handle maintains a secure hold without continuous manual pressure. The narrow, tapered jaw geometry facilitates atraumatic blunt dissection and creates a slim profile for passing ligatures around vessels or structures. These features together improve access and control when working in confined anatomy.
