Reverdin Needle 21cm Fig.4

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled passage and repositioning of suture needles in confined or delicate operative fields. The Reverdin-style mechanism permits grasping, releasing and reloading of small needles without threading, making this instrument particularly useful for ophthalmic, plastic, ENT and microsurgical closures where precise needle orientation and minimal tissue handling are required.

Design & Configuration

The 21 cm length balances reach and control: long enough to access deeper or narrow operative sites while maintaining tactile feedback for fine maneuvers. The slender shaft and precision tip provide unobstructed sightlines to the needle and tissue. The Reverdin-style tip includes a small aperture and release action that allow the operator to secure a needle, adjust its point orientation, then open to release or transfer the needle without withdrawing it from the wound—reducing instrument passes and manipulation of delicate tissue.
