Sklar Deschamps Ligature Carrier, Blunt Curved
A blunt, curved ligature carrier used to guide suture material safely around vessels or tissue bundles for right-handed surgical technique.
The Sklar Deschamps Ligature Carrier is a surgical instrument used to guide ligature material around a vessel, duct or bundle of tissue that needs to be tied off during surgery. The 9-1/2 inch reference in this listing is blunt tipped and curved for right hand use, which allows the surgeon to pass the carrier safely behind the target structure without risking injury to adjacent tissue, a particular concern when working near vessels or nerves.
This instrument is used across general surgery, gynaecological surgery and vascular surgery whenever a surgeon needs to encircle a structure with suture prior to ligation, offering more control and safety than attempting the same manoeuvre with a straight needle. This listing covers three available lengths, from 9-1/2 inches up to 11 inches, giving surgical teams a choice depending on the depth of the surgical field and the size of the structure being ligated.
Facilities stocking a general or gynaecological surgery tray typically keep at least one ligature carrier length available for this specific technique.
