Foqus USP 1 Purple Circle Triangular Needle

Foqus USP 1 Purple Circle Triangular Needle is a high precision instrument designed for medical and veterinary processes that require particular attention in suturing and tissue manipulation. Thanks to its triangular shape and the unmistakable recognition given by the purple circle, this needle stands out for its ability to penetrate easily and precisely even into particularly resistant fabrics, while ensuring optimal control during use. The ergonomics of the needle ensures a comfortable and stable grip, allowing you to operate with maximum safety and minimizing the risk of trauma or unwanted injuries to delicate tissues. Its use in professional and specialist fields makes it a reference tool for surgeons, veterinarians and healthcare personnel who aspire to obtain superior quality in wound closure or in delicate suturing procedures carried out on different types of animal or human tissues.

Its smooth surface and the purple color of the circle facilitate recognition and quick selection within surgical kits, while the type of triangular tip allows a clean cut, facilitating the crossing of dense or fibrous tissues. This needle finds its best application in cases where strength and precision are essential, such as in general surgery, abdominal surgery, orthopedics or certain specialized procedures.

The intelligent design is also designed to minimize the mechanical stress exerted on the tissues crossed, significantly reducing the probability of unexpected lacerations and ensuring faster and more orderly healing. The length and thickness of the needle are balanced so that the force applied during the maneuver is uniformly distributed on the tissue, avoiding excessive pressure in specific points and keeping the surrounding anatomical structure intact.

Therapeutic Indications

Foqus USP 1 Purple Circle Triangular Needle finds its main indication in the context of surgical procedures that involve the suturing of resistant tissues where precision and control are required, such as the skin, subcutaneous, muscular or fascial tissues and all areas that require maximum attention in coaptation of the wound edges. It is ideal for general surgery, orthopaedics, traumatology, plastic surgery and large suture operations in the veterinary or human field. Use is recommended when there are substantial fabrics that require the ability of the triangular needle to cut and penetrate with the minimum possible resistance.

The instrument is particularly useful when performing deep sutures or situations in which the tissue, due to anatomical characteristics or pathological conditions, is thickened or fibrous. It can be used both in a sterile operating room environment and in outpatient procedures involving the closure of surgical or traumatic wounds. It also offers valid support in visible skin sutures, where precision is essential for an optimal aesthetic result. The combined use with suitable suture threads allows personalized management of the patient, responding to specific needs of resistance, elasticity and manageability of the thread.

It is also indicated as a device of choice for emergency interventions, emergency medicine, and in first aid kits used by doctors, veterinarians or professional rescuers who must intervene promptly in difficult environmental conditions or on polytraumatized patients. The use can be extended to all animal species, based on the type of intervention required, after evaluating the specific anatomy and clinical conditions presented by the subject to be treated.

Composition

Main material: Needle made of superior quality surgical stainless steel, characterized by particular resistance to bending, breakage and corrosion. The surface of the needle is specially treated to guarantee exceptional smoothness and reduced adhesion to the tissues crossed during the suturing maneuver.

The shiny triangular tip is sharp and resistant over time, maintaining its performance unchanged even after numerous passages through the fabric. The purple circle, a characteristic element, is made with non-toxic and hypoallergenic materials, so as not to interfere with the sterility of the surgical set and to guarantee maximum visibility within the operating field. Each needle is packaged in a sterile environment, ready for use and protected from external contamination.

The entire instrument is subjected to rigorous quality controls and sterilization to eliminate any risk of contamination. It does not contain latex or materials that could be allergenic for the patient or the operator. It can be used in combination with synthetic or natural suture threads, of a caliber suitable for the procedure to be performed, always maintaining high standards of safety and reliability.

Contraindications

Foqus USP 1 Purple Circle Triangular Needle should not be used in patients who show a known hypersensitivity to the materials that make up the needle, although it is made with hypoallergenic materials and subjected to strict sterilization processes. If the patient has documented allergies to stainless steel or similar metal elements, it is recommended to opt for devices compatible with the relevant specific clinical needs.

Use on extremely fragile, necrotic or already damaged tissues is contraindicated, where the triangular shape and sharp tip of the needle can be traumatic and cause involuntary breakage. In the case of particularly extensive local infections, serious burns or conditions that profoundly alter the structure of the dermis and underlying layers, it is necessary to choose an alternative product, capable of better managing the structural peculiarities of the tissues involved.

It is not intended for use in the ophthalmic or microsurgical fields or in all those procedures that require needles of smaller dimensions or of a different geometric shape, due to the peculiarity of the tip and the dimensions of the instrument itself.

Safety of the drug for the species

The triangular needle is designed to minimize local trauma on the target species (human or animal), promoting healing thanks to the clean and precise cut produced during penetration into the tissue. Its architecture allows the applied forces to be distributed uniformly, reducing the risk of hematomas, edema or excessive damage. The ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue, favoring the creation of stable sutures even in long-term operations.

In veterinary use, the choice of caliber and type of needle must however be adapted to the morphological characteristics of the animal and the resistance of the tissues involved. Sterility guarantees the absence of additional infectious risks, while the materials used are free of harmful chemical residues and are safe even in particularly sensitive subjects.

Careful compliance with the instructions for use ensures a predictable result, minimizing the possibility of intra- and post-operative complications in both humans and animals, promoting rapid healing processes and good quality scars.

Precautions

It is essential to handle the needle in safe conditions, using adequate personal protective equipment to prevent accidental injuries to the operator and maintaining the integrity of the sterile field. The package must be opened only at the time of use and, in case of damage to the protective packaging, the needle must not be used. Dispose of in accordance with current regulations regarding sharps waste and disposable medical devices.

Avoid bending or forcing the needle during use: in case of anomalous resistance during penetration into the tissue, suspend and evaluate any anatomical or technical anomalies. Never use on vital anatomical structures or at risk of excessive perforation. After the procedure, ensure that all needles used are completely recovered to avoid complications or residues in the surgical site.

Wash and disinfect your hands carefully before and after use, taking all the necessary precautions for the safety of operators, patients and the work environment.

Method of administration

The needle must be held using appropriate needle holders depending on the procedure to be carried out. The passage through the tissue must occur with a precise and controlled movement, respecting the optimal entry angle to minimize the "tearing" effect and maximize anatomical respect for the tissues.

If necessary, proceed with the suture with compatible threads, selecting the caliber and type most suitable for the operation: the needle can be used with both synthetic and absorbable threads, according to the most suitable surgical practice. At the end of the suture, carefully and safely remove the needle, avoiding bending it during the final disengagement from the tissue.

The maneuver must always be performed by trained and qualified personnel, capable of evaluating the conditions of the wound, the tissues and the position of the needle itself in real time. Each passage of the suture must be monitored so that no deviations from the pre-established trajectory occur, thus preventing unnecessary further trauma to the tissues crossed.

Treatment program

The frequency of use of the needle depends on the type and extent of the surgery. For more complex surgeries or particularly resistant tissues, it may be necessary to resort to a series of subsequent steps, calibrated to the length of the wound and the depth of the suture required. In the case of long-term operations or on multiple tissue planes, it is recommended to replace the needle if you notice a loss of sharpness or integrity of the tip.

In routine surgeries or outpatient care, a single needle may be sufficient for the duration of the suture, but compliance with the recommendations for single-use use remains essential to avoid cross-contamination. In the treatment of traumatic wounds, burns or deep lacerations, the sutures must follow a very precise plan, evaluating every single step and proceeding from the deepest to the most superficial level.

In the veterinary field, the anatomical variability between species requires careful customization of the approach, deciding from time to time the frequency and method of use based on the extent of the wound and the general clinical conditions of the treated subject.

Target species

Foqus USP 1 Purple Circle Triangular Needle is intended for use on dogs, cats, pets, livestock, small and large animals, as well as on human patients whenever clinical necessity requires the use of triangular needles for medical sutures. Suitable for most domestic, industrial or laboratory species, it can be used following veterinary evaluation to guarantee maximum effectiveness and safety based on the size, tissue structure and anatomical specificities of the individual treated. It is recommended to carefully choose the needle model based on the particularities of the species and the target tissue to obtain optimal results and promote healing.
