Therapeutic Indications

The USP 0 Foqus circular needle is indicated for suturing soft tissues in various types of surgery, from general to specialist. It is particularly suitable in cases where a resistant and easy-to-manage suture is required in the manipulation of medium-thick or delicate tissues. Its use is recommended in abdominal, vascular, plastic, gynecological and veterinary surgery, where it is essential to reduce tissue damage and ensure optimal healing. The circular design promotes the reduction of tissue trauma and the formation of precise points, allowing surgeons to work with greater safety even in difficult to access areas. It is also used for the suture of the skin, muscles and muscle bands, guaranteeing a solid and long-lasting hold. In the veterinary field, it is also suitable for suturing pets and small pets, offering the right combination of delicate physical action and operational safety. Its effectiveness also makes it useful in first aid and emergency surgical procedures, where it is essential to have a reliable needle both for the immediate result and for the long-term quality of healing. The use of the USP 0 purple circular needle also allows the instrument to be recognized among the surgical material, speeding up procedures and guaranteeing high hygiene and control standards.

Composition

Main Material: The needle is made of high-quality medical-grade stainless steel, designed to offer an ideal combination of strength, elasticity and corrosion resistance. This guarantees stability, durability and safety during all phases of the surgical procedure. Color: Purple, obtained through a safe anodization process which not only gives a distinctive appearance to the instrument but also allows for easy identification in the operating field. USP size 0: The size indicates an adequate thickness to ensure efficient performance in a wide range of surgical interventions, offering adequate resistance to the mechanical stresses typical of the most demanding operations and greater precision in delicate sutures. The stainless steel used is biocompatible and subjected to strict controls, in order to avoid particle release phenomena or allergic reactions. Finish: The surface of the needle has been worked to offer maximum smoothness in the fabrics, reducing friction and avoiding the risk of accidental lacerations. Sterility: Each needle is individually packaged in a sterile manner to preserve the integrity of the material and guarantee total safety of use. Sterilization is carried out according to rigorous international regulations which ensure the absence of microbial load until use.

Contraindications

Do not use if you have a known allergy to metals such as stainless steel or to substances used in the purple coloring process. Continuous updating on the patient's condition and careful evaluation of specific clinical needs represent a fundamental aspect: the needle is not indicated for procedures in which a particularly high level of continuity is required or in particularly fragile tissues where different instruments are preferred. Use on patients with particular pathologies, such as those with coagulation deficits or systemic inflammatory reactions, must be carefully evaluated by healthcare personnel. Repeated use of the same needle on multiple patients is contraindicated, to avoid cross-contamination, and is not suitable for procedures that require absorbable or perishable materials. Furthermore, do not use the needle in the presence of serious untreated infections in the tissues being sutured to avoid the spread of the infection itself. In case of visible damage or alterations to the geometry of the needle, avoid use to avoid risks of breakage and additional injuries.

Safety of the drug for the species

The Foqus USP 0 Circular Purple needle has been designed to offer the highest safety standards in both human and veterinary use. Quality control in production ensures that every single needle uniformly meets the requirements of mechanical resistance and sterility. The use of hypoallergenic material and the absence of harmful substances reduce the risk of adverse reactions in sensitive patients. The purple color does not contain toxic substances and remains stable even during sterilization or prolonged handling. Flexural and tensile strength limits the risk of accidental fractures during insertion and removal. To ensure complete safety, it is recommended to inspect the needle before use and to always use sterile devices for each patient to prevent cross-contamination. Even in the presence of particularly long procedures, the construction quality of the needle ensures its functionality and safety for the patient, reducing post-operative complications.

Precautions

Always handle the needle with suitable surgical instruments, avoiding direct contact with bare hands both to ensure asepsis and to prevent any accidental injuries. Store the product in the original packaging until use, in a dry environment and away from sources of intense heat or direct light which could alter its chemical-physical characteristics. Make sure that the needle does not show signs of deformation, chipping or structural damage: any alteration should be considered a reason for exclusion from the surgical procedure. After use, dispose of the needle according to the regulations for special sharps waste, following environmental and health safety protocols. Never reuse the same needle on different patients. In case of accidental contact with operators or patients, wash the affected area immediately and, if necessary, consult medical personnel for further evaluation. Keep out of reach of children and unauthorized persons, avoiding in any way improper use of the material.

Method of administration

The needle must be mounted on the appropriate surgical needle holder and used following the standard suturing techniques suggested for the type of tissue to be treated. Wash your hands thoroughly and wear sterile gloves before removing the needle from the package. Gently insert the needle through the tissue flaps, using controlled movements and following the circular curvature to minimize tissue damage. Respect the angle of penetration indicated by the surgical guidelines to promote the best adaptation and optimal closure of the incision site. The needle can be used with both absorbable and non-absorbable threads, depending on preference and clinical needs. After finishing the suture, carefully remove the needle and dispose of it immediately according to the established protocols. Do not force insertion if you encounter excessive resistance, to avoid damaging either the tissue or the instrument.

Treatment program

The use of the Foqus USP 0 Circular Purple needle must be evaluated based on the type of intervention and the complexity of the lesion to be treated. In routine procedures, the application follows a single suturing session, selecting the necessary number of needles depending on the length and depth of the cut or laceration. In cases of extensive procedures, plan to periodically replace the needle to maintain the effectiveness of penetration intact. In the veterinary context, the evaluation of the frequency of use is left to the responsible doctor who can determine the interval of applications based on the species, size and state of health of the animal. The needle must be chosen based on the diameter and resistance required by the tissue, adapting the procedure from time to time and planning post-suture checks to monitor correct healing. In complex operations or in emergency cases, it is advisable to have a complete set of sterile needles of various sizes ready for use, so as to be able to promptly address any additional needs or replacements during the procedure.

Target species

The Foqus USP 0 Circular Purple needle is indicated both in humans and in the veterinary field for the surgical treatment of dogs, cats and other small companion animals. The extreme versatility and high resistance make it an instrument also suitable for procedures in medium-sized animals, ensuring optimal healing of the treated tissues in all subjects for which a reliable and quality suture is necessary.
