Young Ligature Needle

Description

Young Ligature Needle

The Young ligature needle passes ligatures in deep urological and pelvic fields. Three figures offer different curves for different spaces.

Curve options

Each of the three figures has its own bend. As a result, you can match the needle to the space around the vessel.

Why the Young ligature needle

Deep pelvic spaces are narrow and curved. Therefore, a needle with the right bend reaches around structures there.

Typical uses

Urological and pelvic surgeons use it. For example, it helps ligate vessels during prostate and bladder surgery.

Technique

Pass the tip around the vessel, then thread the eye and withdraw. Finally, knot the thread firmly.

Pairing

In addition, the Young ligature instrument offers a related tool for the same field. Consequently, many urology trays carry both.

Young ligature needle figures compared

Figure 1 has the gentlest bend and suits open spaces. In contrast, figures 2 and 3 curve more sharply and reach behind structures that sit close to the pelvic wall.

Thread and tying

Most surgeons load a braided ligature, which holds its knot well in deep spaces. After the pass, a knot tier helps push each throw down to the vessel.

Young ligature needle options

• Figures 1, 2 and 3
• Curved shaft
• Eye at the tip

Care

Clean each figure and its eye. Afterwards, dry and sterilise them.
