Reverdin Needle 21cm Fig.1

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to facilitate secure grasping, controlled transfer and rapid release of small surgical needles in confined or deep operative sites. It is commonly used in ophthalmic, plastic and reconstructive procedures, hand and tendon surgery, microsurgical closures and subcuticular or skin-edge suturing where precise needle placement is required and access is limited.

Design & Configuration

The spring-action suture-passer geometry provides quick, single-handed capture and release of fine needles without a full ratchet lock, allowing efficient stitch placement in tight corridors. The relatively long 21 cm shaft offers extended reach for deeper wounds or layered closures while the short, finely profiled jaws concentrate holding force at the needle for precise control and minimal needle wobble. This combination improves access and ergonomics in procedures where conventional needle holders are too bulky.
