Clinical Application
Provides a ready replacement needle during operative procedures where the original Young pattern needle is lost, damaged, or requires exchange. The Fig.1 geometry is commonly used for controlled passage of suture through soft tissue and confined operative fields, supporting efficient wound closure, mucosal approximation, and routine soft‑tissue repairs in ambulatory and hospital settings. Keeping spare needles available minimizes case delays and supports uninterrupted workflow in the operating room and procedure suites.
Design & Configuration
The Fig.1 configuration denotes a specific needle curvature/profile that balances access in constrained spaces with favorable handling through tissue. That geometry facilitates predictable needle rotation in standard needle holders and allows the operator to control bite depth and direction without excessive tissue drag. As a spare/replacement needle, it is sized and shaped to match the handling characteristics of primary Young pattern needles so suturing technique and tension control are preserved when swapping needles intraoperatively.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Surgical replacement needle
- Pattern / model: Young Spare Needle Fig.1
- Configuration: Spare / replacement needle in Fig.1 geometry
- Typical surgical use: Soft‑tissue suturing and wound closure
- Material / construction: Surgical‑grade stainless steel
Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical‑grade stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance and dimensional stability during handling. Needles of this class are precision formed to retain curvature and offer consistent passage through tissue; surface finishing reduces tissue drag for smoother penetration and predictable tactile feedback during suturing.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
