S-Force Suture Passers

S-Force Suture Passers are commonly used orthopedic tools in arthroscopic surgeries, employed for procedures such as Bankart repairs, SLAP repairs, and rotator cuff surgeries. Their unique design features various curved-tip configurations and is equipped with Nitinol loops, facilitating tissue passage and suture manipulation. These instruments find wide applications, including the passage of grafts or sutures through bone sockets and tunnels, providing effective assistance in orthopedic surgeries. As a specialized medical device manufacturer, Manners Technology offers a diverse range of bending angle options for S-Force Suture Passers to meet various surgical requirements.

Applications

These meticulously designed tools feature a tip diameter of approximately 2 millimeters, ensuring precise operations in complex surgical procedures. The inclusion of pre-loaded Nitinol wire adds convenience, simplifying the process of suture passage through delicate tissues. One notable variant is the penetrative suture passer, which is a sterile instrument equipped with a pliable shaft, robust Nitinol capture loop, and an ergonomically designed handle. This design proves effective in surgeries where the passage of grafts or sutures through bone sockets and channels is required, showcasing its adaptability in orthopedic procedures.

The instruments in the S-Force Suture Passers series with a diameter of around 1 millimeter excel in percutaneous suture passage, a crucial step in rotator cuff and shoulder labrum repairs. Their slender diameter ensures precision and minimally invasive techniques when accessing challenging anatomical locations.

The significance of S-Force Suture Passers in orthopedic surgeries lies in their ability to enhance precision, reduce tissue trauma, and simplify the suturing process. Manners can provide a variety of configurations suitable for various applications, meticulously manufacturing indispensable tools for orthopedic surgeons seeking optimal results in complex and delicate surgeries.

Manufacturing

S-Force Suture Passers undergo a precise and complex manufacturing process aimed at ensuring high performance and exceptional quality, meeting the needs of surgeons and patients. The handle is first created using injection molding, forming a solid integral structure. There is also a sandblasting technique between the handle and the stainless steel tube to increase friction, enhance stability during operations, prevent easy detachment of the handle, and provide surgeons with more precise control during surgery. The handle design of S-Force Suture Passers not only emphasizes aesthetic appearance but also focuses on providing an ergonomic gripping experience.

Manners Technology offers various handle designs, with some S-Force Suture Passers featuring thumb pads or thumbwheels. This design choice facilitates the quick and easy advancement of the provided Nitinol wire loop, sutures, or monofilament (PDS) threads. For doctors who prioritize grip comfort and flexibility, the thumbwheel handle is an ideal choice. Meanwhile, for those who value tactile feedback and operational precision, the hollow-hole handle retains grip comfort while providing additional guidance and feedback. This handle design allows surgeons to accurately grasp the position and direction of S-Force Suture Passers, enabling more precise surgical operations.

For hollow-hole handles, a CNC machine cuts an opening for the internally pushed nickel-titanium wire on the tube body. To further optimize the product’s functionality, the swaging process is applied to taper the section from the tube body to the tip. This step not only enhances the instrument’s flexibility and maneuverability within the human body but also reduces the incision area, ensuring the overall structure’s stability.

Welding is a critical step in the production of S-Force Suture Passers. Through precision welding, the tube body is tightly connected to the finer tip section. After welding, to improve the overall appearance of the product and patient experience, and to avoid traces or defects, the welded area undergoes a polishing process to ensure a smooth and flawless surface, meeting the requirements for medical devices during insertion into the human body.

During the manufacturing of S-Force Suture Passers, the bending process is a crucial step. This instrument is designed with diverse angles for different arthroscopic surgery scenarios, including 30, 90, 25TL, 25TR, 45L, 45R, 90L, 90R and Crescent. Advanced CNC machines and bending processes are employed to ensure precise and controllable bending angles for each S-Force Suture Passer. This not only ensures that each instrument’s bending angle meets design requirements, improving stability and reliability, but also provides surgeons with more flexible and precise surgical operations, enabling them to better adapt to complex bone structures.

The manufacturing of the needle tip involves a grinding process to ensure optimal sharpness. Since S-Force Suture Passers need to puncture and deliver sutures into the human body, sharp needle tips are crucial. This step involves fine grinding to ensure the sharpness and durability of the needle tip. The small, sharp tip not only facilitates a minimally invasive suture passage but also complies with sterile standards for single-patient use, ensuring a sharp and reliable tool for each surgery.

In summary, the manufacturing process of S-Force Suture Passers combines various advanced techniques, including injection molding, sandblasting, swaging, welding, polishing, bending, and grinding, to ensure that each S-Force Suture Passer is precisely crafted, delivering optimal performance in all aspects. Manners Technology is committed to providing outstanding orthopedic implant solutions to the medical industry through advanced manufacturing techniques and strict quality control.
