Kocher Ligature Needle

Overview

The Kocher Ligature Needle is a Kocher ligature needle used to pass and place ligatures or sutures around vessels and tissue during open surgical procedures. It carries the Kocher pattern, a named instrument pattern within the suture and ligature instruments range. 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.
