Description
Kirschner Ligature Conductor
The Kirschner ligature conductor takes a thread around vessels that lie deep in the pelvis or abdomen. In 25.5 cm and 28 cm lengths, it reaches far into the pelvis and abdomen.
Two long sizes
We offer 25.5 cm and 28 cm. Furthermore, the shorter size handles most deep abdominal work. Meanwhile, the 28 cm size reaches the pelvic floor in larger patients.
Why the Kirschner ligature conductor
Deep vessels sit beyond the reach of standard conductors. As a result, a long, rigid shaft with a blunt tip makes passing a thread far easier.
Typical procedures
Pelvic, gynaecological and colorectal surgeons use long conductors to ligate deep vessels. For instance, it helps around vessels near the pelvic side wall.
Passing the thread
Load the ligature through the eye before entering the wound. Next, guide the curved tip behind the vessel, collect the thread on the far side and withdraw the conductor.
Steadying a long instrument
Any tremor at the handle becomes larger at the far end. For that reason, rest the forearm on the patient and move slowly.
Comparing long conductors
The Brunner pattern offers 25 and 30 cm sizes. In contrast, the Kirschner fills the gap with 25.5 and 28 cm.
Kirschner ligature conductor options
- 25.5 cm or 28 cm
- Long rigid shaft
- Curved blunt tip with eye
Kirschner care
Push a pipe cleaner through the eye, wash the long shaft and dry it. Check the shaft is straight before sterilising.
Why we back your conductor
Each Kirschner length carries three years against manufacturing defects. Every conductor undergoes a close review in Atlanta before we post it. Related items sit in the general surgical category. We can check sizes within a day or so. For details on instrument alloys, open ASTM F899. For a companion tool, add our Brunner conductor. The FAQ list handles returns and delivery.
