Dupuy Weiss Tonsil Needle right 22cm

Clinical Application

This right-angled Dupuy Weiss tonsil needle is intended for placement of ligatures and suture passages during tonsillectomy and related oropharyngeal procedures. The curved orientation and elongated shaft enable controlled passage of suture around the tonsillar pillars and into deep oropharyngeal tissue for vessel ligation and hemostasis. It is commonly used by ENT surgeons and surgical teams for secure suture placement in confined intraoral spaces.

Design & Configuration

The right-angled curve provides an approach trajectory that facilitates wrapping suture material around vascular pedicles and through tissue beds while minimizing obstruction of the visual field. At 22 cm overall length, the shaft reaches the posterior oropharynx without excessive bulk, allowing the operator to maintain a comfortable hand position outside the oral cavity. The slim, curved geometry reduces soft-tissue displacement during passage and improves tactile feedback when seating the needle tip through tissue.
