Ligature Catcher 2.5mm, 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed to capture and retrieve ligatures and free suture ends in deep or confined operative fields, this instrument facilitates efficient ligation and knot management where direct fingertip access is limited. The 2.5 mm capture tip provides a small, controlled contact area appropriate for delicate suture handling around vessels, pedicles, or soft tissue bundles. Common applications include general and vascular procedures, ENT and head/neck work, gynecologic and colorectal cases where a long reach and precise suture control improve workflow during ligation and tying.

Design & Configuration

The long-shaft configuration provides extended reach into deep cavities while maintaining a slim tip profile to minimize obstruction of the visual field. A narrow 2.5 mm capture interface allows the operator to securely grasp suture tails and fine ligatures with minimal tissue displacement. The instrument’s balanced shaft length (26 cm) helps maintain control and tactile feedback at the tip, supporting one-handed manipulation during knot placement and suture retrieval.
