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.
