Yankauer Septum Suture Needle 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for placement and secure approximation of mucoperichondrial and cartilaginous sutures within the nasal septum, this instrument facilitates suturing in the confined intranasal space encountered during septoplasty, septorhinoplasty and related ENT procedures. The extended shaft length provides reach to anterior and posterior septal regions while helping maintain suture control during knot tying and tissue apposition.

Design & Configuration

The long-shaft configuration improves access to deep or posterior septal areas without repeated instrument exchanges, reducing operative time and instrument traffic in the surgical field. A slim profile enhances visibility and maneuverability inside the nasal cavity, enabling precise placement of interrupted or running sutures. The hub and shaft geometry are optimized for secure seating in standard needle holders and for controlled handling during delicate mucosal approximation.
