Sklar Deschamps Needle, Blunt Curved Right, 11"
An 11 inch blunt, curved needle used to pass suture material around a vessel or tissue bundle safely during general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Deschamps Needle is a ligature needle measuring 11 inches, with a blunt tip and a curve suited to right-handed use, designed to pass suture material around a vessel or bundle of tissue that a surgeon needs to isolate and tie off. The blunt tip is a deliberate safety feature, reducing the risk of accidental injury to nearby structures such as vessels, nerves or bowel as the needle is guided into position, compared to a sharp-tipped alternative.
General surgeons, gynaecologic surgeons and vascular surgeons use needles of this type whenever a structure needs to be encircled with ligature material as part of routine dissection or vessel control during a procedure. This listing includes five available variants, giving surgical teams flexibility within the same product family to match curvature or handling characteristics to their specific technique and case requirements.
Hospitals stocking a general surgery instrument tray commonly include a Deschamps needle as a standard option for safe, controlled ligature placement.
