Reverdin Needle 19cm Fig.3

Clinical Application

Designed to facilitate controlled suture passage in confined or deep operative fields, this hinged-eye needle is commonly used where direct threading is difficult or where single-handed needle capture and release improves workflow. Typical procedures include soft-tissue approximation in hand, plastic/reconstructive, ENT, and certain orthopedic or tendon repairs where precise placement and limited needle manipulation reduce tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The hinged (releasable) eye permits the operator to open the needle eye to accept suture and then close and lock it for passage through tissue, eliminating the need to thread the suture through a fixed eye. The 19 cm shaft provides extended reach for deeper pockets or tunnels while retaining tactile feedback. The Fig.3 curvature delivers a defined arc to negotiate angles in tight spaces and to orient the needle point for controlled entry and exit trajectories.

Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction

Precision-forged surgical stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability for repeated sterilization cycles. The hinged eye and locking mechanism are machined for smooth operation and secure suture retention during passage. Instruments of this type are intended for reuse and are compatible with standard hospital sterilization processes.
