Reverdin Needle 21cm Fig.3

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for controlled suture placement in confined or deep operative fields where one-handed loading and precise needle control improve efficiency. The Reverdin-style eye allows the operator to capture or release suture without traditional threading, making it useful for soft-tissue approximation, layered closures, and procedures that require working through narrow exposure. Its 21 cm length provides extended reach for deeper sites while maintaining tactile feedback for accurate needle placement.

Design & Configuration

The Reverdin eye mechanism is the defining feature: a small, controllable aperture that opens to accept suture and closes securely for passage through tissue. This design reduces the need to thread suture through a fixed eye and enables rapid exchange or removal of suture in situ. The 21 cm overall length affords reach into deeper wounds or cavities while the Fig.3 pattern identifies the specific tip/eye arrangement used on this model to distinguish its handling characteristics from other Reverdin variants.
