Wachenfeldt Suture Fcps w/Rack 12cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled handling of suture material and surgical needles, this instrument provides secure capture and manipulation during soft-tissue approximation, layered closures, and fine suturing tasks in general surgery, outpatient procedures, and minor operating-room cases. The rack feature stabilizes the needle and reduces slippage during passage, transfer, and knot-tying, improving precision in confined or deep operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The compact 12 cm length balances fingertip control with sufficient reach for intraoperative suturing. The integrated rack on the inner jaws creates a seating surface that helps index and retain needles and suture bundles, allowing consistent orientation when passing or repositioning the needle. The overall geometry supports delicate manipulation without excessive jaw spread, enabling accurate placement of stitches and efficient suture management in layered closures.
