Conmed Low Profile, Slotted Jaw, Suture Punch, 7mm Needle 18.100124
The Low Profile, Slotted Jaw, Suture Punch 7mm Needle (model 18.100124) is a surgical instrument used in arthroscopic shoulder and soft tissue repair procedures. It features a 7 mm needle with a slotted jaw design to allow sutures to pass smoothly through tissue without excessive abrasion. It has a low profile, meaning thin and compact shape for better access in tight spaces.
This punch is part of the Linvatec / ConMed arthroscopy line, designed to minimize soft tissue damage while passing sutures in labral or rotator cuff repairs. The slotted jaw helps protect the suture from fraying or chopping as the punch is withdrawn, improving durability of the suture line. The 7 mm needle size offers a balance between ease of penetration and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Because of its low profile design, the instrument is easier to maneuver in confined spaces within joints, helping surgeons access difficult angles with better visibility.
