Redon Guiding Needle Slightly Curved with Knife Tip
Features and Description:
The Redon Guiding Needle facilitates the precise placement of suction drains during the final stages of surgical closure. Because it features a sharp knife tip, the needle penetrates tissue with minimal resistance and high accuracy. Consequently, surgeons can pull drainage tubing through the skin and soft tissue while causing the least possible trauma to the patient.
Furthermore, the slightly curved (CVD) profile helps the clinician navigate the needle around anatomical structures. Therefore, this instrument ensures a smooth, controlled exit through the desired puncture site.
Key Features
- High-Precision Knife Tip: The sharpened triangular tip ensures a clean entry and exit. As a result, it reduces the force required for tissue penetration and promotes faster healing at the drain site.
- Slightly Curved Geometry: A subtle curve allows for better maneuverability within the subcutaneous layer. For this reason, surgeons can guide the drain more effectively in various surgical planes.
- Tapered Attachment End: The rear of the needle is designed to fit securely into Redon drainage tubes. In addition, this ensures that the tube remains attached while passing through the tissue.
- Six Standard Diameter Sizes: We offer a full range of sizes, from Ch. 8 to Ch. 18, to match any drainage requirement. Thus, you can select the exact gauge needed for your specific clinical application.
- Premium Stainless Steel Build: We manufacture each needle from high-quality surgical steel for maximum durability. Moreover, the instrument is fully autoclavable and highly resistant to corrosion.
