Brunner Ligature Needle

## Overview

The Brunner Ligature Needle is a Brunner ligature needle used to pass and place ligatures or sutures around vessels and tissue during open surgical procedures. It carries the Brunner pattern, a named instrument pattern within the suture and ligature instruments range. This listing represents the complete Brunner Ligature Needle product family, offered as a configurable range of variations that share a common design and differ in defined, printed characteristics. It is classified under Suture and Ligature Instruments › Ligature Needle and is intended for use by trained surgical and clinical personnel. All specifications below are taken directly from the manufacturer catalog; characteristics that are not stated in the catalog are omitted rather than assumed.

## Instrument Class and Clinical Role

Ligature and guiding needles are passing instruments: they carry a ligature or suture thread around or beneath a vessel or anatomical structure so that it can be securely tied off. The surgeon advances the needle through or around the target tissue, positions the thread, and withdraws the instrument, leaving the ligature in place. Instruments of this class are distinguished chiefly by their curvature, tip form and overall length, which together determine how the thread can be routed within a given operative depth.

## Pattern and Identification

This instrument is supplied in the Brunner pattern. Within a surgical inventory, the pattern name together with the Aesculap catalog reference number uniquely identifies the item, which supports accurate reordering and standardisation across a department. Every variation in this family is listed with its own catalog reference so that a specific configuration can be ordered without ambiguity.

## Design and Configuration

The family is supplied in 2 distinct configurations. Because several printed characteristics vary together across the range, each variation is identified by its full printed specification together with its catalog reference number, so that the intended item is selected without ambiguity.

## Configuration Options

The following configurations make up this family: BM831R (reference BM831R); BM832R (reference BM832R). Each is a distinct catalog item; refer to the individual variations for the exact printed specifications.

## Applications

Consistent with its design as a Brunner ligature needle used to pass and place ligatures or sutures around vessels and tissue during open surgical procedures, the Brunner Ligature Needle is applied in general open surgical procedures. The scope described here is limited to the definitional function of the instrument class; the specific procedures, techniques and patient selection for which the instrument is appropriate are a matter of clinical judgement and institutional protocol and should be determined by the operating clinician. No performance, outcome or suitability claims are made beyond the instrument’s stated design.

## Material, Finish and Reprocessing

The manufacturer catalog data underlying this listing does not state the material, surface finish or reprocessing parameters for the item, and these are therefore not asserted here. Confirm material specifications, compatibility and validated reprocessing instructions with the supplier or manufacturer documentation before purchase or use.

## Procurement and Standardisation

Because every item is identified by a stable Aesculap catalog reference number, this listing supports consistent reordering and inventory standardisation across an operating department. Recording the pattern name together with the reference number allows procurement teams to match replacement stock to instruments already in service and to compare like-for-like items between suppliers. Availability, minimum order requirements and lead times are confirmed on inquiry.
