Appel Type Knot Pusher 5mm 40cm

Precise Laparoscopic Knot Security with Standardized Reach

Securing sutures during minimally invasive procedures demands instruments that bridge the gap between tactile feedback and confined working spaces. The Appel Type Knot Pusher is engineered to facilitate reliable knot advancement through standard 5mm trocars, addressing the common challenge of maintaining suture tension without direct manual contact. Its design supports the consistent transfer of knots to tissue sites, helping to streamline the suturing workflow in laparoscopic surgery. By offering a dedicated solution for extracorporeal or intracorporeal knot tying assistance, it aids in achieving secure closures efficiently within the constraints of keyhole surgery.

Use Cases

• Advancing pre-tied sliding knots through 5mm trocar ports to target tissue sites during laparoscopic suturing.
• Maintaining consistent tension on suture lines while securing knots in deep abdominal or pelvic cavities.
• Assisting in the formation of secure ligatures for vessel ligation or duct closure in minimally invasive procedures.
• Facilitating precise knot placement in confined anatomical spaces where direct finger manipulation is not possible.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Inspect the instrument tip and shaft for any signs of bending, burrs, or damage before each use to supports smooth passage through trocars.
• Clean thoroughly immediately after use according to facility protocols to remove biological debris and prevent corrosion.
• Store in a protected environment to prevent physical damage to the working end and maintain instrument integrity.

General use; follow facility protocols.
