Schmieden Ligature Conductor

Description

Schmieden Ligature Conductor

The Schmieden ligature conductor passes ligatures around firm pedicles and vessels. Its robust build handles dense tissue that would bend a lighter tool.

A sturdier build

The shaft is thicker than many conductors. Consequently, it holds its curve while pushing through firm tissue. Additionally, that suits pedicles in the abdomen.

Size of the Schmieden ligature conductor

At 19 cm, it reaches into the abdomen with good leverage. Meanwhile, the handle gives a firm grip.

Typical procedures

Splenic, renal and bowel surgery use it to ligate pedicles. In addition, it helps around large vessels. It also suits gynaecological work.

Technique

Thread the eye before starting. Then pass the tip around the pedicle with steady pressure. Catch the thread and withdraw smoothly.

Related tools

A Schmieden ligature needle offers a similar curve with a different tip. Together they cover most deep ligation tasks.

Schmieden ligature conductor on pedicles

Splenic and renal pedicles are thick and often fatty. Because the robust shaft keeps its curve under pressure, the tip emerges exactly where the surgeon aims it, with the thread trailing behind.

Order basics

Every conductor receives a careful look at our Atlanta office before it ships. This robust Schmieden conductor comes with three years against manufacturing defects. Most surgical teams keep an extra conductor for back-to-back cases. Other options appear in the general instrument list. The FDA lists ASTM F899 for surgical steels.
