Frequently asked questions
Is this surgical instrument built to last?
Yes, the Adson Aneurysm Needle is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring the robustness required for repeated clinical use. It is backed by a lifetime warranty, reflecting Sklar’s commitment to durability and surgical-grade craftsmanship.
Can this be used for more than neurosurgery?
While primarily engineered for delicate intracranial procedures such as artery ligation and aneurysm treatment, its versatile design makes it an excellent choice for various Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) procedures that require precise ligature passage around deep or tubular anatomical structures.
How do I ensure the instrument is safe for patients with allergies?
You can use this instrument with confidence as it is not made with natural rubber latex. It is designed to be safe for patients with latex sensitivities.
Does this meet federal procurement standards?
Yes, the Sklar Adson Aneurysm Needle is fully TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for procurement in government and institutional medical settings.
What is the total length of this instrument?
The needle features an overall length of 8.75 inches (8-3/4 inches), providing the reach necessary for deep-tissue access during surgery.
Is this needle ready to use right out of the box?
The instrument is delivered non-sterile. It must undergo proper cleaning and sterilization protocols as required by your facility’s reprocessing standards before its first use.
Why is the right-angled tip significant?
The short, right-angled tip is a specialized design feature that allows surgeons to pass ligatures around tubular or deeply situated structures with enhanced control and precision, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
Is this instrument designed for repeated sterilization?
Yes, this is a reusable surgical instrument. It is engineered to withstand the rigorous, repeated sterilization cycles required in a professional medical environment, offering superior long-term value over disposable alternatives.
What is the weight of the needle?
The needle is designed for delicate precision handling, weighing only 0.01 pounds, which helps minimize hand fatigue during intricate surgical tasks.
Does the handle design provide a secure grip?
The instrument features a textured handle area specifically designed to enhance grip and ergonomics. This ensures that the surgeon maintains high-precision control, which is essential during deep-tissue dissection and vessel control.
