Mod-Martin Ligature Conductor

Description

Martin Ligature Conductor, Modified

The Martin ligature conductor guides a ligature around a vessel or duct. This modified pattern has a smooth curve that slips behind structures with little resistance.

The modified curve

The bend sits close to the tip. Therefore, the tip turns behind a vessel in a short arc. Moreover, that helps in tight spaces.

Size of the Martin ligature conductor

At 19.5 cm, it reaches moderately deep structures. Meanwhile, the slim shaft keeps the view open.

Typical uses

General and vascular surgeons use it to ligate vessels before cutting. In addition, it passes tapes around ducts. It also suits thyroid work.

Technique

Thread the ligature first. Then pass the curve behind the structure. Catch the thread on the far side and withdraw.

Choosing a conductor

Different curves suit different depths. For example, the Martin suits tight spaces, while the Payr reaches deeper. In addition, many trays carry both.

Using the Martin ligature conductor near the thyroid

Around the thyroid, vessels run close to delicate nerves. The short arc of this tip helps here, since it turns behind a vessel without sweeping wide into nearby tissue.

Ordering from us

Prior to shipping, our Atlanta team looks over the conductor by eye. Expect three years against manufacturing defects on the modified Martin conductor. For a summary of instrument steels, go to ASTM F899. A second conductor in the sterile store covers reprocessing gaps. Also consider our Konig conductor. The FAQ page answers delivery and returns. Matching instruments feature in the general surgical category.
