Conmed Seahawk RC Suture Passer (left, down) GU2002
The Seahawk RC Suture Passer GU2002 is a reusable manual instrument used for passing and retrieving suture through soft tissue. It has a “left, down” (≈ 30° downwards) tip orientation designed to access difficult angles in rotator cuff or shoulder procedures. It is part of the Seahawk line by CONMED and is used with #2 sutures.
The GU2002 Seahawk RC helps surgeons pass and retrieve suture in a single motion, reducing the need to switch instruments. It features a curved tip angled left and down (≈ 30°) optimized for rotator cuff tear repairs and accessing subacromial or posterior tissue. Its shaft is rigid and durable, providing control, and the jaw design ensures a secure grip of suture without slippage. Because it is reusable, it must be cleaned and sterilized properly to maintain performance and safety.
