gSource suture passers and ligature carriers are manufactured from high quality German surgical stainless steel. Suture passers may be used for basic wound stitching, procedures involving the femoral neck hole during hip fracture stabilization, and arthroscopic soft tissue repairs, including shoulder repair. They can help facilitate the placement or passage of sutures and/or ligatures through tissue using a smaller incision. Some curved patterns are available with crotchet hook.
