Yankauer Septum Suture Needle 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise suture placement in constrained intranasal anatomy, this needle facilitates closure of mucoperichondrial flaps and reapproximation of septal cartilage and mucosa during septoplasty and related rhinologic procedures. The extended shaft length supports comfortable needle handling and controlled passes when working deep within the nasal cavity or through nasal specula.

Design & Configuration

The extended 17 cm overall length provides additional reach and hand clearance compared with shorter suture needles, reducing hand crowding and improving visualization for the primary surgeon and assistant. The single-piece construction offers tactile feedback during tissue passage and knot placement, aiding controlled depth and trajectory during delicate intranasal maneuvers.
