Ligature needle

A ligature needle is an instrument designed to place a ligature (surgical thread) under blood vessels or areas of tissue with vessels that need to be crossed during surgery.

A distinctive feature of this tool is a curved working part with a hole near its end. Thanks to this shape, the needle is easily passed under a vessel or tissue, and a ligature thread is pulled through the hole. Then the needle is removed, leaving the thread at the dressing site. After tightening the ligature, the vessel or tissue is tightened, which interrupts the blood flow and allows them to be crossed safely.

Ligature needles are widely used in many areas of surgery, especially in vascular surgery for ligating arteries and veins. Their use allows to minimize blood loss and the risk of complications during surgical interventions.

A ligature needle is a special instrument that is used in surgery to place ligatures under blood vessels and areas of tissue that need to be crossed. This tool has a curved shape and a hole in the working part near the end of the needle.

A ligature needle is used to create ligatures during operations on blood vessels to prevent bleeding and ensure a reliable connection of tissues. It has a very thin and sharp working part, which makes it easy to insert it under the vessels and tissues.

During the operation, the surgeon uses a ligature needle to place the ligature under the vessels that need to be crossed or under the areas of tissue that need to be connected. He then tightens the ligature on the needle and locks it in place to ensure a secure connection.

Once the ligature is in place, the surgeon removes the ligature needle and closes the wound using other instruments. The ligature needle is a very important tool for performing operations on vessels and tissues, and its use can significantly reduce operation time and improve treatment results.
