The 6 1/8″ Shambaugh Derlacki Needle Fine Tip is a specialized surgical instrument designed for precise manipulation, positioning, and controlled handling during delicate operative procedures. Its fine working tip provides a narrow contact point that allows the clinician to perform careful movements where accuracy is important. The 6 1/8-inch length offers a useful combination of reach and control for accessing areas that may require a slightly extended instrument.
The fine tip is the primary functional feature of this Shambaugh Derlacki needle. Its slender working end is intended to support detailed manipulation and precise positioning without the bulk of a larger surgical instrument. This makes it suitable for applications where controlled contact and careful instrument guidance are required. The exact clinical use depends on the surgical specialty, operative technique, and clinician preference.
At 6 1/8 inches long, the instrument provides additional reach while remaining manageable in the hand. This length can be advantageous when the operative site is not immediately accessible or when the clinician needs to maintain an appropriate distance from the surgical field. The balanced proportions help support controlled movements during delicate work.
The Shambaugh Derlacki Needle can be included in appropriate specialty surgical instrument sets where a fine-pointed instrument is needed for manipulation or positioning. Its design is intended for precision rather than forceful tissue engagement. Clinicians should select the instrument according to the requirements of the procedure and use it in accordance with established surgical technique.
For professional healthcare environments, reliable construction and careful instrument handling are essential. Before use, the fine tip should be inspected for alignment, bending, deformation, or other damage that could affect performance. Because the working tip is relatively fine, proper storage and handling are particularly important to preserve its intended shape and precision.
For reusable applications, the instrument should be cleaned promptly after each procedure according to the healthcare facility’s approved instrument-reprocessing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the fine tip during cleaning and inspection. Any sterilization process should be validated for the instrument and performed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and clinical reprocessing requirements.
The 6 1/8″ Shambaugh Derlacki Needle Fine Tip is a practical choice for surgical professionals who require a fine, controlled instrument with useful reach. Its combination of a narrow working tip, 6 1/8-inch length, and maneuverable design makes it a valuable addition to appropriate surgical instrument collections.
