Needle Length Needle length is the actual length measured in millimeters. Needle lengths can be found within the Needle Section and throughout the catalog to the right of the needle code.
As a user you will find that many of these needle lengths have been rounded off. Due to timing differences, the box and label dimensions may not match the catalog exactly, but will be updated accordingly in the near future. General Information tissue. In general, the same size of needle may be made from finer gauge wire for use in soft or delicate tissues and from heavier gauge wire for use in tough or fibrosed tissues the surgeons choice.
They must be made from high quality stainless steel. They resist bending but are processed so that they will tend to bend before breaking. Taper points must be sharp and contoured for easy passage into tissues. Cutting points or edges must be sharp and free of burrs.
The attachment of the needle to the suture material must be secure so that the needle will not separate from the suture material under normal use. Elements of Needle Design Needle design involves analyzing a surgical procedure and the density of the tissue involved in great detail. The anatomy of the ideal surgical needle has three key factors that make up the ideal needle.
Alloy - Geometry - tip and body - Coating. The needle is held securely in holder. Suture is grasped securely just below needle, pulling strand taut. The needleholder must be an appropriate size instrument for the size needle selected. It must be made from good quality steel with a secure jaw design.
Avoid placement on or near the swaged area. Do not force or twist the needle in an effort to bring the point out through the tissue withdraw the needle and replace tissue. Do not force a dull needle through tissue obtain a new one. Avoid using the needle to bridge or approximate tissues for suturing.
If the needle is held too tightly in a sharp or hard jawed or defective needleholder, the needle may be damaged or notched in such a manner that it will have more of a tendency to bend or break on successive passes through tissue. Do not damage taper points or cutting edges when using the needleholder to pull the needle out through the tissue.
Grasp as far back as possible. When placing the needle in tissue, any force applied should be in the direction following the curve of the needle. Do not take excessively large bites of tissue with small needles. When the needle holder with needle is passed to the surgeon, the needle should be pointing in the right direction in which it will start to be used without need for readjustments.
In some patients, the tissues may be tougher or fibrosed more than normal and require the use of a heavier gauge needle. In deep confined area, ideal positioning of the needle may not be possible.
The surgeon should proceed with caution or use a heavier gauge needle. The variety of ETHICON needles offers the surgeon a choice of needles which are dependable for consistent quality and for practically all surgical applications. Each step, from raw material to finished needle, is carefully controlled for uniformly superior performance.
The ETHICON process controls the orientation of the micrograins so that ductility and strength are closely controlled for strong needles that start sharp, and stay sharp, thus assuring easy passage through tissue. Virtually all ATRALOC Needles have a micro-thin Super-Smooth finish that permits the needle to penetrate and pass through the toughest tissue with an almost fluid-like flow, with minimal resistance and virtually no drag, giving the surgeon a feeling of control.
Needle Swaging Needles are permanently attached to the suture materials, eliminating the need for threading and providing a new, sharp needle each time.
ATRALOC Needle swaging gives the surgeon a needle with an unbroken surface from end to end;without double strands, it draws through tissue easier and with less tissue trauma. Super smooth Ribbed for Security and Control Longitudinal ribbing on the inside and outside curvatures of most needles has a cross-locking action in the needleholder, minimizing turning, rocking or twisting and thus providing unsurpassed needle control.
Precision Point Needle For delicate plastic or cosmetic surgery. Cutting tip electropolished for added sharpness. Conventional Cutting Needle Two opposing cutting edges, with a third on inside curve. Change in cross-section from a triangle cutting tip to a flattened body. Specially designed for ophthalmic anterior segment surgery.
Conventional Spatula Needle Visibility of the point at bottom provides control of depth penetration. For layers of scleral or corneal tissue. Spatulated needle point is centered for maximum needle stability in thin sclera. Four equidistant and properly defined edges provide greater control. Readily facilitates knot rotation in ophthalmic surgery.
Extremely smooth. Extremely sharp for ophthalmic surgery.
