Ligature Catcher 3.0mm, 26cm

Clinical Application

This long-reach capture instrument is designed to control, retrieve and position ligatures and suture material in deep or confined operative fields. It is commonly used during vessel ligation, wound closure in deep cavities, suture management in general and specialty procedures, and whenever precise capture of a tie or suture end is required without enlarging the exposure.

Design & Configuration

A slender 26 cm shaft provides the length necessary to reach into deep wounds, pelvic or thoracic cavities while keeping the operator’s hands clear of the field. The narrow 3.0 mm capture jaws allow secure grasping of suture and ligature material with minimal profile, reducing risk of entanglement and improving visibility in narrow corridors. The overall geometry prioritizes controlled tip contact and fine manipulation at depth, facilitating one-handed retrieval and transfer of ties during knot-tying maneuvers.
