Yankauer Septum Suture Needle 17cm

Clinical Application

Intended for use in septal and intranasal soft tissue approximation, this needle is optimized for placement of sutures during septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and related ENT procedures. The shaft length and handling profile enable precise needle passes through mucoperichondrium and cartilage within the confined nasal cavity, facilitating mucosal closure, cartilage re‑approximation and fixation sutures without excessive instrument crowding.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 17 cm shaft provides reach and distance between the operator’s hand and the working field, improving visibility and control when operating deep in the nasal vestibule. The single‑ended configuration is intended to be secured in standard needle holders for controlled rotation and directional passes. The overall geometry reduces the need for repeated passes and assists in delivering accurate bite depth for reliable tissue approximation in tight intranasal spaces.
