Guide Needle for Wound Closure 12Fr. 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed to facilitate controlled passage of sutures, drains, or small-bore catheters through soft tissue during wound closure and drainage procedures. Commonly used in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, wound care, and minor procedures where percutaneous suture guidance or atraumatic introduction of a 12Fr device is required. The instrument enables precise, reproducible routing of closures in deeper or narrow tracts where direct visualization is limited.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry and 20 cm length provide extended reach into deeper wounds and confined operative fields while maintaining tactile control. The 12Fr designation corresponds to standard French sizing, allowing compatibility with 12Fr drains and sheaths commonly used in surgical practice. A slender profile minimizes tissue disruption during passage and supports targeted placement of suture or tubing without enlarging the wound tract.
