Clinical Application
This instrument is designed to guide ligatures, sutures or fine wire around bone or through confined soft‑tissue planes during cerclage wiring, fracture fixation and related orthopedic procedures. Its length and slender profile facilitate passage deep into surgical fields with minimal dissection, making it useful in trauma, hand, foot and pediatric applications where controlled suture/wire placement is required.
Design & Configuration
The long, rigid 25.5 cm shaft provides reach into deep or narrow operative sites while maintaining tactile control. An atraumatic rounded tip reduces the risk of soft‑tissue entrapment and inadvertent tissue damage when negotiating around bone. An integrated eyelet captures and secures the ligature or suture during passage, eliminating the need for repeated exchange of instruments and allowing precise routing of material through drill holes or around osseous prominences.
