Guide Needle for Wound Closure 14Fr. 20cm

Clinical Application

This guide needle is used to assist controlled passage of sutures, drains, or guidewires through soft tissue during wound closure and percutaneous procedures. Its 14Fr diameter provides a working channel suitable for a range of suture materials and small-bore drains, while the 20 cm length allows access from superficial to deeper subcutaneous planes without frequent re-positioning. Typical applications include tunneled drain placement, percutaneous retention suture placement, and controlled suture passage in layered wound repair.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s tubular profile and clinical sizing support smooth, predictable tissue tunneling and element passage with minimal lateral displacement. The 14Fr bore balances lumen size with a low external profile to reduce tissue distortion during insertion. A 20 cm shaft length provides reach for most extremity and trunk wounds while allowing the operator to maintain precise control of depth and direction during tunneling or suture routing.
