Sklar Hessberg Ligature Needle, Curved Hook, 6 Inch
A 6 inch Sklar Hessberg ligature needle with a strong curved hook, used to pass suture material around tissue or vessels during surgical procedures.
The Sklar Hessberg Ligature Needle is a 6 inch instrument with a strong curved hook tip, designed to pass suture material around a vessel or tissue structure so it can be tied off during a surgical procedure. The hooked design lets the surgeon guide a length of suture behind the target structure in a single controlled motion, which is a common technique for encircling and ligating vessels or ducts before they are divided.
The curved shape and reinforced strength of the hook allow it to be used on firmer tissue without bending or losing its shape during the pass. Surgeons across general, vascular and ophthalmic surgery use ligature needles like this whenever suture material needs to be threaded around a structure rather than simply passed through tissue with a standard needle.
This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Hessberg pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilized use.
