Guide Needle for Wound Closure 16Fr. 20cm

Clinical Application

This guide needle is used to assist controlled passage of sutures and small closure devices through soft tissue during wound repair. It is applicable in general surgical, trauma, and reconstructive procedures where percutaneous or deeper-layer suture placement is required. By providing a predictable path for suture material or introducers, the instrument helps reduce soft-tissue trauma and improves accuracy when approximating wound edges or placing retention sutures.

Design & Configuration

The 16Fr. diameter balances profile and tactile control, while the 20 cm shaft length provides adequate reach for most superficial and moderate-depth closures. The shaft geometry is optimized to offer sufficient rigidity for accurate needle guidance with the maneuverability needed for delicate tissue handling. This combination of diameter and length supports consistent passage through tissue planes and aids in directional control during suture placement.
