Yankauer Septum Suture Needle 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for placement of interrupted and running sutures on the nasal septum and adjacent intranasal mucosa. Commonly used in septoplasty, septorhinoplasty and nasal septal repair to approximate mucoperichondrial flaps, close mucosal incisions, and secure grafts or implants in confined intranasal spaces. The geometry aids controlled needle passage under endoscopic or direct vision and helps minimize mucosal trauma during needle placement and knot tying.

Design & Configuration

The Yankauer-style curvature provides an arc suited to reach across the midline and around septal contours within the nasal cavity. A 17 cm overall length gives additional working reach from the operator's hand while maintaining fine control of needle rotation and depth. The straight shaft transitioning into a curved distal needle enables precise entry and exit angles in limited-access anatomy, reducing the need for forceful tissue manipulation.
