Richard-Allan™ Needle - 1/2 Circle, Trocar Point, Mayo, Catgut, 17G (.056" x1.95"), Sterile, 2/pouch, 72 pouches/bx

The Richard-Allan™ Mayo Catgut Needle (Aspen Surgical) is the largest and most robust offering in the Mayo Catgut line, specifically designed for suturing extremely dense or heavy tissues. These needles are crafted from high-quality, true-tempered stainless steel and undergo a proprietary heat-treating process. This ensures the needle possesses the maximum structural integrity required for orthopedic reconstructions and deep abdominal wall closures without the risk of bending or deformation.

Featuring a specialized trocar point, this needle provides a high-strength, three-edged tip that can pierce tough fibrous structures, tendons, and ligaments with precision. The 1/2 circle geometry combined with the heavy "Mayo" profile is engineered for deep tissue access and heavy ligation. As a free-eyed needle, it is primarily used with thick suture materials like catgut or heavy synthetic strands.

Please note: All prices are for boxes.
