Reverdin Needle 19cm Fig.1

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to facilitate precise suture placement where controlled loading and unloading of the suture is required. The Reverdin open-eye mechanism allows the operator to engage and release suture material without threading the eye in the conventional manner, reducing needle handling and streamlining stitch placement in confined or deep wounds. It is commonly used for delicate soft-tissue approximation, layered closures, and situations where limited access or narrow working corridors make conventional needle handling difficult.

Design & Configuration

The open-eye (Reverdin) configuration delivers predictable, atraumatic suture capture: the small, precisely machined eye opens to accept the suture and then closes securely for passage through tissue. At 19 cm overall length the shaft provides extended reach and improved control for deep or narrow operative sites while maintaining tactile feedback. The Fig.1 pattern denotes the standard Reverdin geometry with a slim working profile to minimize tissue displacement during needle passage and loading.
