Reverdin Needle 19cm Fig.4

Clinical Application

The Reverdin needle with a Fig.4 configuration is intended to facilitate suture passage in confined operative fields where traditional needle threading is difficult. Its openable eye allows the operator to capture and release suture without threading the suture end through a closed eye, reducing manipulation and tissue trauma. It is commonly used in delicate soft-tissue procedures such as ophthalmic, plastic/reconstructive, ENT, and hand surgery where controlled placement and minimal handling are required.

Design & Configuration

The Fig.4 curvature provides a controlled arc suited for accessing shallow-to-moderate depth pockets while maintaining predictable needle trajectory. The Reverdin (openable) eye mechanism permits single-handed loading and release of suture within narrow exposure sites, eliminating the need to pass bulky needle holders or to externalize long suture tails. At 19 cm overall length, the shaft offers reach and fingertip control for precise placement in confined anatomical corridors.
