Schmieden Ligature Needle D/E 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for placement of ligatures and secure vessel ligation in open surgical procedures. The instrument's length and handling characteristics make it useful for securing sutures around pedicles, tying off bleeding points, and delivering ligature material in deeper or confined operative fields. Common applications include general surgical ligation tasks encountered in general, vascular, gynecologic and ENT procedures.

Design & Configuration

The Schmieden pattern offers a robust needle profile intended for controlled passage of ligature suture and reliable tissue engagement. The D/E configuration identifies the specific working arrangement of the instrument as supplied in this model. At 21 cm overall length, the instrument provides extended reach for access into deeper anatomical sites without excessive manipulation of surrounding tissues, improving control when working across retracted fields or around pedicles.
