Clinical Application
This instrument is designed to facilitate placement of sutures in deep, narrow operative corridors typical of cerebrovascular and microvascular procedures. It is commonly used to pass suture around aneurysm necks, to place anchoring stitches adjacent to vascular clips, and for controlled ligation or approximation of fragile vessel walls or surrounding tissues where precision and reach are required. Its length and profile make it useful in intracranial aneurysm repair and other vascular procedures where access is limited.
Design & Configuration
The elongated 17 cm shaft provides extended reach into deep surgical fields while keeping the surgeon’s hand clear of the operative site. A slim, rigid shaft reduces shaft flex and improves control when passing suture in confined anatomy. The needle tip geometry (fine, atraumatic profile typical of aneurysm needles) allows precise needle placement with minimal disruption to delicate vascular structures, supporting secure suture placement in microsurgical environments.
