Ligature Catcher 2.0mm, 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed to aid placement, retrieval and temporary holding of ligatures and sutures in deep or confined operative sites, this instrument facilitates knot-tying and secure suture management during procedures. It is useful when working through narrow corridors or hand-assist ports where precise capture of a suture, vessel loop, or ligature is required. Common uses include general, vascular, gynecologic, ENT and other soft-tissue procedures that demand atraumatic, controlled handling of suture material.

Design & Configuration

The long 26 cm shaft provides extended reach into deeper cavities while maintaining tactile control at the proximal end. A slim shaft profile minimizes disruption of surrounding tissues and improves line-of-sight for the surgeon. The distal 2.0 mm capture tip is sized to reliably engage fine sutures and ligature material without bulky jaws that obstruct the operative field. This combination of reach and a fine capture aperture is particularly valuable when passing or retrieving a ligature around a vessel or structure and when securing suture ends prior to knot tying.
