Hurd Cleft Palate Needle left 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for palatoplasty and other cleft palate repair procedures, this needle is used to place sutures through mucoperiosteal flaps, muscular layers, and deep intraoral tissue in a confined surgical field. The 21 cm length provides the reach necessary to access posterior palatal sites without compromising control during needle passage.

Design & Configuration

The left-curved (left) geometry creates a predictable arc for controlled tissue bites in the oral cavity, reducing the need for excessive wrist rotation in narrow operative corridors. The length balances reach with shaft control, enabling surgeons to place precise, atraumatic bites on the lateral and posterior palate while maintaining ergonomic hand positioning.
