Rotter Cleft Palate Needle right 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in cleft palate repair and related palatal procedures, this right-curved Rotter needle provides controlled passage of suture through mucoperiosteal flaps and muscle layers in the confined oral cavity. Its geometry facilitates secure tissue capture and precise needle positioning during mucosal and layered closure in pediatric and adult craniofacial surgery. The needle is intended for use with standard needle holders and atraumatic suturing techniques common to palatoplasty.

Design & Configuration

The right-curved configuration allows the surgeon to approach palatal tissues from a lateral trajectory, improving visibility and access to posterior and lateral areas of the oral cavity without excessive manipulation of surrounding tissues. A 26 cm overall length provides extended reach for intraoral work, enabling controlled rotations and passes through deep or narrow operative fields. The Rotter profile is optimized for controlled bite depth and consistent needle handling during layered palatal closure.
