Clinical Application
Designed for controlled passage and placement of ligatures and suture carriers in confined operative corridors. This probe-style ligature guide is commonly used in cranial and microvascular procedures to thread sutures or ties around vessels, nerves, or ductal structures where direct manual access is limited. The 19 cm length provides the reach needed for deep or narrow surgical fields encountered in neurosurgery and skull-base approaches.
Design & Configuration
The long, slender shaft with a defined probe point allows the instrument to be advanced through narrow dissection planes while minimizing instrument profile. The probe point facilitates precise engagement of a ligature or suture loop for controlled withdrawal or placement. Its carrier function supports safe transfer of suture material, helping the surgeon avoid excessive manipulation of adjacent delicate tissues during passing maneuvers.
Instrument Specifications
- Type: Ligature guide and carrier probe
- Model: Yasargil pattern
- Configuration: Probe point carrier
- Length: 19 cm
- Intended use: Passage of ligatures and suture carriers in neurosurgical/microvascular procedures
- Reusable construction
Material & Construction
Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel to provide necessary rigidity and corrosion resistance for repeated use. The probe geometry and finish are produced to allow smooth passage of suture while resisting tissue adherence. Constructed for routine reprocessing and sterilization in accordance with standard central processing protocols.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
