Yankauer Septum Suture Needle 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for placement of sutures in the confined nasal airway, this instrument facilitates secure approximation of septal mucoperichondrial tissue during septoplasty, septal perforation repair and related rhinologic procedures. The extended length gives improved access to anterior and posterior septal regions while preserving tactile control for precise suture placement in delicate mucosal and cartilaginous tissues.

Design & Configuration

The long 17 cm shaft provides reach and working distance necessary for intranasal suturing without excessive overhang in the operator's hand. The needle geometry and smooth shaft profile reduce soft-tissue drag and improve visibility in the narrow nasal cavity, enabling controlled bites and consistent knot placement. The overall configuration is intended to balance rigidity for needle passage with sufficient tactile feedback for atraumatic handling.
