Yankauer Septum Suture Needle 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise suturing of the nasal septum and adjacent intranasal mucosa, this needle is intended for septoplasty, septorhinoplasty and related ENT procedures where controlled, reliable needle passes are required in a confined airway. The geometry facilitates placement of interrupted or continuous sutures to approximate mucoperichondrial flaps, close mucosal tears, and secure grafts or cartilage repairs with minimal tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The Yankauer-style profile provides an offset shaft geometry that improves approach angles within the narrow nasal vault. At 17 cm overall length the needle offers extended reach for posterior septal work while maintaining tactile control for anterior suturing. The profile reduces the need for excessive instrument angulation and enhances line-of-sight for the surgeon, enabling accurate needle entry and exit points on mucosal edges.
