Loop Twister (Negus pusher/ knot tier) 23cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to assist surgeons in creating, advancing and securing surgical knots where manual finger access is limited. It is commonly used to capture and control a suture loop, apply controlled rotation to form a secure knot, and then advance or seat that knot onto tissue. Typical applications include general and soft-tissue surgery, ligation of vessels or pedicles, trocar-site or deep-wound knot placement, and procedures where precise extracorporeal or intracorporeal knot management is required.

Design & Configuration

The Loop Twister features a dedicated loop-form tip that holds suture securely while permitting controlled rotation to twist or form a knot. The integrated pusher function allows the operator to advance a previously formed knot down the suture to approximate tissue without direct manual contact. A 23 cm overall length provides added reach for working in deeper cavities or confined wounds while maintaining tactile control at the handle. The slender shaft and streamlined tip profile reduce tissue interference and facilitate passage through small incisions or trocar sites when used in minimally invasive contexts.
