Clinical Application
Designed to control and transfer suture needles in confined or deep operative sites, this Reverdin-style needle passer facilitates precise needle placement and retrieval when direct access is limited. It is suited for soft-tissue approximation, layered closure, and procedures where secure one-handed needle capture reduces needle handling and intraoperative needle loss.
Design & Configuration
The instrument incorporates a localized needle-capture mechanism that secures the needle during passage and retrieval, allowing controlled transfer without continuous two-handed manipulation. Its 23 cm length provides extended reach into deep cavities or narrow wounds while maintaining tactile feedback. The Fig. 3 configuration denotes the specific jaw/capture geometry used to balance secure grip with minimal needle distortion, aiding precise suturing in delicate tissues.
