Redon Guiding Needle Curved (CVD) with Knife Tip
Features and Description:
The Redon Guiding Needle provides a reliable solution for the subcutaneous placement of surgical suction drains. Because this model features a pronounced curved (CVD) profile, it allows the surgeon to navigate the needle effectively through varied tissue planes. Consequently, the clinician can guide the drainage tube from the surgical site to the skin exit point with exceptional accuracy and control.
Furthermore, the sharp knife tip ensures effortless penetration through soft tissue and skin layers. Therefore, this instrument reduces the physical force required during drain placement, which minimizes patient trauma.
Key Features
- Ergonomic Curved Profile (CVD): The distinct curve helps surgeons bypass deep anatomical structures during drain insertion. As a result, it facilitates a smoother and more predictable exit through the skin.
- Sharpened Knife Tip: A precision-honed triangular tip creates a clean puncture. For this reason, the wound site heals faster and the risk of post-operative scarring decreases.
- Universal Tubing Attachment: The distal end is designed to fit standard Redon drainage catheters securely. In addition, the seamless connection prevents the tube from detaching while passing through dense tissue.
- Full Range of Sizes: We offer six standard diameters, ranging from Ch. 8 to Ch. 18. Thus, surgical teams can select the ideal gauge for every clinical scenario.
- Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: We manufacture each needle from high-quality stainless steel for maximum durability. Moreover, the instrument remains resistant to corrosion throughout repeated autoclave cycles.

Primary Applications
Surgeons frequently rely on the curved Redon needle in specialized medical fields. For example, it is a staple tool in:
- Abdominal Surgery: Placing drains effectively around the curvature of the abdominal wall.
- Orthopedic Surgery: Facilitating wound drainage following complex hip or knee arthroplasty.
- Gynecological Surgery: Managing post-operative fluid evacuation in pelvic procedures.
- General Soft Tissue Surgery: Ensuring precise drain positioning to prevent hematoma and seroma formation.
Why Choose the Curved Redon Guiding Needle?
The curved Redon model is widely respected for its ability to follow anatomical contours that straight needles cannot reach. Since it combines a high-strength curved shaft with a precision knife tip, it offers superior maneuverability in restricted surgical spaces. Finally, by integrating these needles into your surgical inventory, you provide your team with a reliable tool that ensures efficient and safe post-operative care.
