Features and Description:

The Redon Guiding Needle facilitates the seamless transition of surgical drains from the operative site to the exterior of the body. Because this model features a specialized lance tip, the clinician can achieve highly accurate tissue penetration with minimal lateral displacement. Consequently, surgeons prefer this design for procedures requiring a precise exit point through the skin.

Furthermore, the slightly curved (CVD) profile provides just enough maneuverability to bypass subcutaneous obstacles. Therefore, this instrument ensures a controlled and predictable path during post-operative drain placement.

Key Features

  • Precision Lance Tip: The tapered, lance-shaped point ensures a smooth entry into soft tissue. As a result, it reduces the risk of accidental tissue tearing and promotes cleaner wound healing at the exit site.
  • Slightly Curved Geometry: This subtle anatomical curve allows for better guidance through the subcutaneous layer. For this reason, surgeons can maintain a steady trajectory while navigating varied tissue depths.
  • Secure Tubing Connection: The rear of the needle features a tapered attachment point for Redon drainage catheters. In addition, this secure fit ensures the tubing does not slip or detach during the pulling process.
  • Six Size Options: We offer a full range of diameters from Ch. 8 to Ch. 18 to accommodate any volume of fluid evacuation. Thus, surgical teams can select the perfect gauge for every patient.
  • German-Grade Stainless Steel: We manufacture each needle from high-quality surgical steel to ensure maximum durability. Moreover, the instrument is fully autoclavable and resists corrosion during long-term use.

Primary Applications

Surgeons frequently utilize the lance-tip Redon needle across several surgical disciplines. For instance, it is a staple tool in:

  1. Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Ensuring the most aesthetic and precise exit points for post-operative drains.
  2. General Surgery: Managing fluid drainage following abdominal or thoracic interventions.
  3. Orthopedic Surgery: Facilitating wound care after limb or joint procedures.
  4. Vascular Surgery: Placing drains near delicate vessel repairs with high accuracy.

Why Choose the Lance Tip Redon Guiding Needle?

The lance-tip design offers a unique balance between sharpness and stability. Since the slightly curved shaft provides superior control over the needle’s path, it minimizes the force required for skin perforation. Finally, by stocking all six sizes of this premium stainless steel instrument, your facility ensures a high standard of care for every surgical patient.
