Yankauer Septum Suture Needle 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise suture placement along the nasal septum, this instrument facilitates mucoperichondrial and mucoperiosteal flap approximation during septoplasty, septal perforation repair, and related otolaryngology procedures. The geometry and length permit controlled needle delivery in the confined intranasal space, improving access to anterior and posterior septal segments and enabling secure tissue apposition with minimal mucosal trauma.

Design & Configuration

The Yankauer-style configuration provides an elongated working shaft that improves reach and hand clearance within the nasal vestibule and surgical field. The length and balance are intended to allow the surgeon to place and orient sutures accurately without excessive hand crossover or instrument interference. This geometry is particularly useful when working through specula or narrow intranasal corridors and when manipulating suture with needle holders or fine forceps.

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated sterilization cycles and the mechanical demands of suturing in dense septal tissues. The construction emphasizes rigidity and tactile feedback to aid controlled needle passage and minimize flex during placement. Surface finishing reduces tissue drag and facilitates cleaning between uses.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
