Accupass System, Smith and Nephew

Form, Function, and Flexibility
With its single-handed design, ergonomic handle, and thumb wheels, the Smith & Nephew ACCU-PASS* Suture Shuttle provides precise control for suture placement and shuttle deployment, reducing operating time and cost.Seven different tip configurations and three shuttle loading options provide flexibility in both procedure and technique, while the solid one-piece shaft resists bending and breakage. Sterile, single patient use gives you the confidence of knowing the instrument is sharp. Each ACCU-PASS Suture Shuttle is designed to accommodate a doubled #2-0, a doubled #0 or a single #1 or #2 monofilament suture.
