Yasargil Ligature Carriers

Description

Yasargil Ligature Carriers

A Yasargil ligature carrier passes a ligature around a vessel or structure deep in the surgical field. Surgeons use it when fingers or standard forceps cannot reach around the target.

What it does

Tying off a deep vessel starts with getting the thread around it. So the ligature carrier guides the thread behind the structure. Then the surgeon picks up the end and ties the knot.

Size

We list this carrier at 18 cm. That length suits deep cranial and spinal fields. If you need details of the tip, ask us before ordering, because we do not list them.

Where it fits

Ligature carriers sit in a micro set with forceps, scissors and dissectors. For example, a surgeon may dissect around a vessel first, then pass the thread with the carrier. It saves time in tight spaces.

Deciding on quantity

Many teams keep one Yasargil ligature carrier per micro set. However, busy services often keep a spare. Contact us if you would like a quote for several.

Caring for your ligature carrier

Clean the tip and any eye or groove right after use, since thread fibers can catch. Also rinse it well. After drying, the carrier goes into a micro tray for the steam cycle.
