Dupuy Weiss Tonsil Needle left 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise suture placement and vessel ligation during tonsillectomy and other oropharyngeal procedures. The left curvature is optimized for access to the left tonsillar fossa and adjacent mucosa, facilitating secure bites for hemostasis, mucosal approximation, and stump closure during ENT operations in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Design & Configuration

The Dupuy Weiss pattern uses a defined left-curved geometry that helps orient the needle tip when working in the confined intraoral space. The 22 cm overall length provides sufficient reach into the oral cavity while allowing the surgeon and assistant to maintain ergonomic hand positions and visibility. This configuration minimizes needle repositioning and supports controlled passage through tonsillar tissue.
