NeedlePunch®
The NeedlePunch® is a simple, versatile and effective suture passing instrument. The NeedlePunch needle is loaded into the bottom jaw of the instrument and the back handle is squeezed slightly, locking the needle into place. Once the desired bite of tissue is grasped, deploy the needle through the cuff by squeezing the back handle. The needle comes up through the soft tissue and locks into the catch mechanism on the upper jaw. To retrieve the needle, open the jaw and remove the instrument. The needle swivels back for easy extraction. The needle is available in multiple configurations for shuttling suture through tissue and for side-to-side cuff repairs.
