Additional product details

• This configuration features the SH-1 (Small Half Circle) needle, a 22mm taper-point instrument. The SH-1 is one of the most widely used needles in surgery, designed specifically for delicate soft tissue such as the gastrointestinal tract, vascular structures, and dural closure in neurosurgery.

• "Silk-Like" Handling: NUROLON® is often referred to as "synthetic silk." It offers the same smooth tie-down and knot-seating properties as natural silk but with the significantly higher tensile strength and lower tissue reactivity of nylon.
• SH-1 Taper Precision: The 22mm SH-1 needle features a round body that tapers to a sharp point. Unlike cutting needles, the taper point pushes tissue fibers aside rather than cutting them, making it the "atraumatic" choice for delicate internal organs and mucosal layers.
• Indefinite Support: As a non-absorbable material, Polyamide 6,6 provides permanent structural integrity.
