Schmieden Dick Ligature Needle flexible 32cm

Clinical Application

This flexible ligature needle is intended for placing ligatures and tying sutures in deep, narrow, or difficult-to-reach anatomical sites where a standard rigid needle or straight-handed technique is impractical. Common applications include vessel ligation, securing pedicles, and tying off small to medium-sized vessels or tissue bundles during abdominal, pelvic, thoracic, and general surgical procedures. The long flexible shaft enables passage of suture material to a target without enlarging the incision or creating additional portals.

Design & Configuration

The flexible shaft design allows the needle to be routed around structures and through confined planes while preserving tactile control during placement. The 32 cm working length provides extended reach for deep cavities (for example pelvic or retroperitoneal approaches) and reduces the need for extensive instrument maneuvering. Flexibility in the shaft also minimizes transfer of force to adjacent tissues, helping to reduce unintended trauma when negotiating around anatomical obstacles.
