Redon Guide Needle, Slightly Curved, Knife Tip

## Overview

The Redon Spike is a Redon guide needle used with closed-suction (Redon) wound drains to pass the drain tube through the tissue during wound drainage. This listing represents the complete Redon Spike product family, offered as a configurable range of variations that share a common design and differ in defined, printed characteristics. It is classified under Redon Guide Needles › Redon Spike 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

Redon guide needles are used together with closed-suction (Redon) wound drainage systems. The needle is passed through the tissue and skin to create and guide the path for the perforated drain tube, after which the tube is drawn into position and the needle removed. Instruments of this class are selected by gauge and length to match the drain and the thickness of tissue being traversed.

## Design and Configuration

Available charrière options are Charr. 10, Charr. 12, Charr. 14, Charr. 16, Charr. 18, and Charr. 8. All items in this listing share a total length of 190 mm, a slightly curved profile, a knife tip tip, and a yes construction.

## Configuration Options

This is a configurable (variable) product. A specific item is selected by choosing from the available charrière options listed above; the family comprises 6 variations in total. The individual configurations are: Redon Spike, Charr. 10 (reference BN903R); Redon Spike, Charr. 12 (reference BN904R); Redon Spike, Charr. 14 (reference BN905R); Redon Spike, Charr. 16 (reference BN906R); Redon Spike, Charr. 18 (reference BN907R); Redon Spike, Charr. 8 (reference BN902R). Each configuration maps to a unique Aesculap catalog reference so that the exact item can be ordered without ambiguity.

## Applications

Consistent with its design as a Redon guide needle used with closed-suction (Redon) wound drains to pass the drain tube through the tissue during wound drainage, the Redon Spike 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.

## Ordering and Procurement

This product is available in multiple configurations; refer to the individual variations for exact specifications and catalog reference numbers. Pricing is not published on this platform, which operates on an inquiry (request-a-quote) basis. To proceed, request a quote or send an inquiry and our team will confirm current availability, the exact configuration and lead times. This listing is intended for hospitals, surgical centers, procurement teams, distributors and dealers.
