Foqus USP 2 Purple Circular Needle 2 Units

Foqus USP 2 Purple Circular Needle is a sterile surgical instrument intended for professional use in the medical field. This needle is specifically designed for soft tissue suturing and ensures precise and controlled penetration thanks to its circular shape and refined tip profile. Its purple color facilitates recognition during the procedure, while the package contains 2 ready-to-use units. The circular needle represents an ideal solution for surgeons and healthcare personnel who need a reliable device for surgical suturing, offering an excellent balance between resistance and ease of handling during use in different suturing techniques. Foqus USP 2 is packaged to preserve sterility until opening, thus helping to maintain high safety standards in the operating room.
The comfortable grip and the flexibility of the needle facilitate the correct execution of the surgical procedure, minimizing the risk of damage to the surrounding tissues and allowing optimal closure of the wounds.

Therapeutic Indications

Foqus USP 2 Purple Circular Needle is used in surgical procedures that require the suturing of soft tissues, both superficial and deep. It is indicated for closing surgical incisions of various kinds, for suturing traumatic wounds and for fixing skin flaps during plastic or reconstructive operations. The circular needle is particularly suitable for handling delicate fabrics as it reduces the likelihood of tearing during penetration. It is also used in abdominal, vascular, gynecological, urological surgery and in all situations where accurate tissue manipulation is required.
The device is used in emergency care, treatment of surgical wounds and skin repairs in surgeries, hospitals and veterinary clinics. Thanks to its design, it ensures regular and solid stitches, promoting a correct healing process and reducing the risk of post-operative complications such as irregular sutures or dehiscences of the wound edges.

Composition

The Foqus USP 2 circular needle is made of high quality surgical steel, with optimal resistance to bending and corrosion, ensuring maximum safety and durability during use. The surface of the needle is treated to ensure superior smoothness in the tissues and minimize local trauma. The device has a purple color to facilitate visibility and rapid identification in the operated area.
Each package contains 2 perfectly sterile units, individually sealed under a protected atmosphere to reduce the risk of contamination. Assembly and production follow rigorous quality standards and each needle undergoes specific checks to verify sharpness, mechanical resistance and structural integrity. The package is designed to maintain sterility until use and to ensure simple and safe handling even in environments where maximum speed of intervention is required.

Contraindications

Foqus USP 2 Purple Circular Needle should not be used in patients with documented hypersensitivity to surgical steel or in the presence of severe adverse reactions to implantable metal devices. Its use is not recommended in situations where the internal suturing process is contraindicated or where the tissue is too compromised to mechanically support the passage of the needle without risk of tearing. Use on infected or necrotic tissues is not recommended, where the suture could further compromise the local condition.
Do not use the circular needle in procedures that require specific characteristics of another type of needle not provided by the Foqus USP 2, such as sharp needles for particularly dense tissue or atraumatic needles for fragile bowels. Any off-label use must be carefully evaluated in light of the clinical indications and the patient's condition.

Product safety for the species

The Foqus USP 2 circular needle was developed to offer maximum safety for both the operator and the patient. The needle maintains its structural integrity even during prolonged manipulations or subjected to a certain pressure, minimizing the risk of breakage or accidental bending within the tissues. The tip configuration and reduced glide promote gentle penetration, reducing surgical trauma.
The risk of local adverse reactions is minimal when the device is used in accordance with the indications; however, it is essential to follow all asepsis procedures to avoid secondary infections. The main indication is for human use, but it can also be used in veterinary medicine, always by adequately trained personnel and with the necessary attention inherent to the animal species being treated.

Precautions

When handling the Foqus USP 2 circular needle it is necessary to adopt all standard precautions required in sterile surgical procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment. Always check the integrity of the package before use: do not use if the package is damaged or shows signs of opening.
After use, dispose of the device in containers suitable for sharps, following current regulations relating to special medical waste. It is recommended to proceed with a careful visual inspection of the sutured tissues at the end of the procedure to verify the absence of metal fragments or complications related to the insertion of the needle. If in doubt about the compatibility of the material with the patient, consult a doctor or person responsible for the surgical protocol.

Method of administration

Foqus USP 2 Purple Circular Needle must be used exclusively by qualified healthcare personnel, doctors or nurses, experienced in performing surgical suturing techniques. The needle is used in combination with suitable suture thread, depending on the type of wound and the depth of the tissues to be treated.
The needle can be held using special tools (needle holders) which facilitate its manipulation during insertion and extraction into the tissues themselves. It is important to follow the correct sequence of penetration and exit, making sure to exert the necessary pressure without overloading the structure of the needle. After use, carefully remove any residue of foreign material and proceed with the normal post-operative dressing procedures.

Treatment program

The frequency of use and duration of the suture typically depend on the type of surgery and the healing process of the specific area treated. The needle can be used for a single procedure or, depending on the circumstances, for multiple stitches in the same operation, provided it remains sterile and intact.
Monitoring the suture site is essential to promptly recognize any post-operative complications. In the days following the operation, it is recommended to inspect the area, check the tightness of the stitches, the possible appearance of signs of infection or inflammation, and act accordingly based on clinical guidelines. In the presence of inflammatory processes or suspected complications, evaluate the opportunity to remove or replace the suture with alternative means.

Target species

Foqus USP 2 Purple Circular Needle is specifically intended for use on human patients, but can also be used in veterinary surgical procedures for pets or animals of zootechnical interest, according to the evaluation and responsibility of the veterinary surgeon. Its use in veterinary medicine requires careful evaluation on a case-by-case basis, with the selection of the appropriate needle based on the animal species, anatomical and pathological conditions and surgical objective. The quality and safety of the needle are also guaranteed in veterinary contexts, always with the recommendation to respect sterility procedures and to adapt the suturing technique to the specific needs of the treated animal.
