Clinical Application
This curved, left‑facing blunt ligature needle is intended for placing ligatures around vessels, pedicles and soft tissue during open surgical procedures. The blunt point is designed to pass through soft tissue planes and around structures without cutting, making it suitable for ligation of friable tissue and when reducing the risk of inadvertent vessel or glove puncture is important. Typical users include general, vascular, gynecologic and other surgical teams performing open hemostasis and pedicle control.
Design & Configuration
The left curvature provides a predictable needle trajectory when approaching structures from the surgeon’s right side or when working within confined cavities. The 20 cm overall length offers extended reach for deep wounds and allows the surgeon to pass suture around pedicles and vessels without repeated instrument exchanges. The blunt tip favors blunt dissection and passage through tissue planes rather than sharp penetration, and the curved geometry is optimized for use with standard needle holders to facilitate controlled rotation and placement.
