Negus Knot Pusher

## Overview

The Negus Knot Pusher is a Negus knot pusher used to advance and set surgical knots in deep or confined operative fields. It carries the Negus pattern, a named instrument pattern within the suture and ligature instruments range. This listing represents a single catalog item supplied under one Aesculap reference. It is classified under Suture and Ligature Instruments › Knot Pusher 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

Knot pushers are used to advance a surgical knot down a suture and set it against the tissue, particularly in deep, narrow or endoscopic fields where the knot cannot be tied by hand at the tissue surface. Instruments of this class are defined by their working length and tip design.

## Pattern and Identification

This instrument is supplied in the Negus 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. The catalog reference for this item is OM917R.

## Design and Configuration

All items in this listing share a total length of 215 mm and a diameter of 6 mm.

## Applications

Consistent with its design as a Negus knot pusher used to advance and set surgical knots in deep or confined operative fields, the Negus Knot Pusher is applied in 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.
