Sklar Redon Spike, Angled Knife Tip, 10 French
A 7-1/2 inch drainage spike from Sklar with an angled knife tip, used to pass drainage tubing through tissue during general and orthopaedic surgery.
The Sklar Redon Spike is a pointed instrument used to create a small puncture through tissue and skin so that a Redon or similar closed suction drainage tube can be threaded into place at the end of a surgical procedure. The angled knife tip is shaped to cut a clean, controlled opening rather than tearing tissue, which supports better healing around the drain site once the tube is positioned.
Measuring 7-1/2 inches with a 10 French sizing, this spike matches a common drain diameter used in general and orthopaedic surgery for managing post-operative fluid collection. Surgeons place a drain like this at the close of many procedures to reduce the risk of fluid or blood accumulating in the surgical site during early recovery.
This listing includes eighteen variants within the Redon spike range, giving surgical departments a wide choice of sizes and tip configurations. Hospitals performing general and orthopaedic surgery regularly stock a range of Redon spike sizes as standard closing equipment.
