Young Ligature Instrument

Description

Young Ligature Instrument

The Young ligature instrument places ties around vessels deep in the pelvis. It is a specialised tool for urological and pelvic surgery, where space is tight and access is long.

A specialised design

The Young ligature instrument is built for one demanding job: placing ligatures where fingers cannot reach. Therefore, it complements simpler needles.

Where it is used

Urological surgeons use it during prostate and bladder procedures. In addition, pelvic surgeons use it for deep vessels.

Technique

Load the ligature before entering the wound. Then guide the working end around the vessel and release the thread.

Pairing

Young ligature needles share the same field. Together they cover most deep pelvic ligations.

Inspecting the Young ligature instrument

A specialised tool deserves careful checks. Before each case, confirm all parts move freely.

Why choose the Young ligature instrument

Simple needles work well when there is room to thread the eye. However, deep in the pelvis, a dedicated carrier saves time because the ligature travels with the tool from the start.

Training and familiarity

Like any specialised tool, it rewards practice. Many teams therefore run through the loading steps on the bench before the first case, so the scrub nurse can prepare it quickly.
