Sklar Rotter Ligature Needle, Small Right Hook, 10 Inch
A 10 inch ligature needle from Sklar with a small right hook, used by surgeons to pass suture material around vessels or tissue during open surgery.
The Sklar Rotter Ligature Needle features a small right facing hook at its tip, used to catch and carry suture material around a blood vessel or tissue bundle so it can be tied off securely during surgery. The right hook orientation is designed to suit a particular hand position or approach angle preferred by some surgeons when working around a vessel from a specific side of the surgical field.
Measuring 10 inches, the needle gives enough reach for deeper surgical fields encountered during general, vascular or gynaecological procedures. This listing includes four variants within the Rotter ligature needle range, offering different hook orientations or sizes to suit surgeon preference. Ligature needles of this kind are a routine part of general surgical instrument trays, used across many procedure types whenever a vessel or tissue bundle needs to be tied off during an operation, and surgical departments typically keep a selection of hook orientations available to match different techniques.
