Carefusion SN30-200 - Keith Abdominal Needle 2" (5.1 cm), Precision Surgical Instrument for Suturing, 12/DZ
The Carefusion SN30-200 is a Keith-style abdominal needle designed for use in a range of surgical and wound closure procedures. At 2 inches (5.1 cm) in length, this straight surgical needle is engineered for precision suturing in deeper tissue layers, particularly in abdominal surgeries or procedures involving dense anatomical structures.
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the SN30-200 is durable, corrosion-resistant, and delivers smooth tissue penetration. It is suitable for use in both open and minimally invasive surgeries, and is often used to guide suture material through soft tissue in controlled clinical environments.
