Sklar Reverdin Ligature Needle, 7-1/2 Inch
A 7-1/2 inch ligature needle from Sklar used by surgeons to pass suture material around blood vessels or tissue bundles during general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Reverdin Ligature Needle is a surgical instrument used to carry suture material around a blood vessel or bundle of tissue so it can be tied off securely during an operation. The Reverdin pattern typically includes a small eye or hook near the tip that allows the surgeon to thread the suture through and draw it back around the target structure in a single, controlled motion, which many surgeons prefer for its efficiency compared with a plain hook design.
Measuring 7-1/2 inches, this listing represents the number one size within the Reverdin range and is available in two length variants overall. Surgeons across general, vascular and gynaecological surgery reach for a ligature needle of this kind whenever a vessel or tissue bundle needs to be tied off before division.
Given how routinely this step comes up during open surgery, surgical departments typically keep several of this instrument in circulation as part of their general instrument trays.
