20mm Small Cruciate Needle swaged onto an 80 lb nylon leader line, supplied with a 12mm crimp tube. Total length: 800mm. Sterile and ready for immediate use.
Part of a Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) lateral suture system, designed for effective stabilisation in cases of CCL rupture. This widely used technique offers a relatively quick procedure with outcomes comparable to alternative surgical methods, delivering strong immediate post-operative support while minimising risk to intra-articular structures.
The system utilises heavy monofilament nylon placed laterally to stabilise the stifle. A metal crimp tube replaces the need for bulky knots, allowing precise tensioning and secure fixation using crimping forceps. The suture is positioned behind the lateral fabella and passed through the tibial tubercle for optimal stability.
Includes cruciate suture needle pre-attached to nylon leader line with crimp tube. Sterile and ready for use.
