Whelan Double-Ended Suture Wire Passer

The Whelan Double-Ended Suture Wire Passer is a specialized surgical instrumentation system designed to assist with controlled passage of suture wire during compatible surgical procedures. The system provides a dedicated passer guide and double-ended passer configuration, allowing the components to be used together as a coordinated instrumentation system.

The complete set includes one Passer Guide, two Passers, and a sterilization case. The individual components are also available separately.

System Configuration

The complete Whelan Double-Ended Suture Wire Passer system consists of the following components:

• 8300-01 Passer Guide
• Two 8300-02 Passers
• Sterilization Case

The individual product numbers identify the components separately, while the complete set provides the listed components together with the sterilization case.

Passer Guide

The 8300-01 Passer Guide has an overall length of 8.125" (20.6 cm). It features an outside width of 9 mm and an inside groove width of 6.5 mm.

The guide is designed to provide a defined pathway and support controlled positioning during use with the compatible passer components.

Passer

The 8300-02 Passer has an overall length of 7.5" (19.1 cm) and a width of 4.6 mm.

Two passers are included in the complete set. The individual product number represents the passer component for individual availability.

Double-Ended Configuration

The double-ended passer configuration provides a specialized working arrangement for compatible suture wire passage applications. The passer and guide are designed to work together to support controlled positioning and passage during the intended surgical procedure.

The components should be matched and used according to the applicable surgical technique and manufacturer's instructions.

Surgical Applications

The Whelan Double-Ended Suture Wire Passer is designed for surgical applications requiring controlled passage of suture wire through the intended operative area. The guide and passer configuration provides a dedicated system for facilitating this task.

The specific application, surgical approach, and technique should be determined by the qualified surgical professional according to the procedure and applicable instrumentation requirements.

Handling and Use Considerations

Before use, inspect the Passer Guide and Passers for proper alignment, deformation, damage, or other visible abnormalities. Ensure that the components are compatible and correctly positioned before beginning the procedure.

The instruments should be used with controlled movements and only for their intended surgical purpose. Avoid excessive force that could deform the guide, passer, or working surfaces.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, the instruments should be cleaned and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing procedures.

Particular attention should be given to the inside groove of the Passer Guide and the working surfaces of the Passers to ensure that surgical residue is adequately removed.

Sterilization and Storage

The complete system includes a sterilization case designed to accommodate the system components. Before clinical use, the instruments should undergo the appropriate validated sterilization process according to applicable manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility protocols.

Following processing, the components should be inspected and stored appropriately to maintain their condition.
