Sklar Koenig Ligature Conductor, 5mm 7-3/4 Inch
A 7-3/4 inch ligature conductor with a 5mm profile, used to guide suture or ligature material safely around vessels during surgical procedures.
The Sklar Koenig Ligature Conductor is a surgical instrument measuring 7-3/4 inches with a 5mm profile shaft, designed to pass beneath or around a vessel or bundle of tissue so that ligature material can be threaded through safely before being tied off. As a blunt, non-cutting instrument, it lets the surgeon place a tie around a structure without directly grasping it with a sharp or toothed tool, reducing the chance of accidental injury to the vessel wall during the ligation step of a procedure.
Its moderate length and slim profile suit general surgical fields where the target vessel is within reach of a mid-length instrument rather than requiring the extra reach of a longer conductor. This type of instrument is used across general and vascular surgery wherever a controlled, protected passage is needed for placing a ligature.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between cases following standard reprocessing protocols, with the shaft checked before use to confirm it remains smooth and free from burrs.
