Conmed Low Profile, Slotted Jaw, Suture Punch, 4mm Needle 18.1008
The Low Profile, Slotted Jaw, Suture Punch 18.1008 is a Linvatec surgical instrument used to pass sutures through soft tissue. It features a 4 mm needle and a slotted jaw design to facilitate smooth suture passage. The tool is used in arthroscopic and shoulder repair procedures to make precise suture holes.
This suture punch belongs to the Linvatec Spectrum / Bio-Anchor instrument set and is intended for use in tight anatomical areas such as the labrum or rotator cuff. Its slotted jaw design helps protect suture strands during passage, reducing wear or fraying. The 4 mm needle size allows controlled and minimal tissue disruption. It is valued for being “low profile,” meaning it has a slim, ergonomic build that improves access and visibility in arthroscopic surgery.
