Jacobson Suture Pusher

Description

Jacobson Suture Pusher

The Jacobson suture pusher helps a surgeon slide knots down and guide fine sutures in a deep or narrow field. Neurosurgeons and microsurgeons reach for it when fingers cannot get close enough.

Tying in a deep space

Tying a knot at the bottom of a narrow opening is hard. So a suture pusher carries each throw down the thread and seats it on the tissue. As a result, the surgeon can tie firmly without reaching into the wound.

Two patterns, one length

We list the Jacobson suture pusher in two patterns, both 18 cm long. The patterns differ at the working tip. However, we prefer to show you rather than describe them, so please contact us for photos before you choose.

Where it fits

This tool belongs in a microsurgical set with fine needle holders and forceps. For example, a surgeon may close a small dural opening deep in the field with it. Also, it can help steady a suture while an assistant cuts.

Picking a pattern

If your surgeon already has a favorite pusher, tell us its shape and we will match it. Otherwise, many teams simply order both patterns. That way they can try each and keep the one that suits them.

Caring for your Jacobson suture pusher

Remove any suture fragments from the tip before cleaning. Then rinse and brush it gently, since the tip is small. Finally, dry it, inspect it under magnification if you can, and sterilize it.
