Gauge director/ligature tucker 7 1/4" double-ended, #2521 hexagonal handle

Versatile Double-Ended Access for General Surgical Workflows

The gauge director/ligature tucker is a 7 1/4-inch general surgery instrument designed to guide, position, and tuck ligatures during routine surgical handling. Its double-ended configuration provides two working ends in one instrument, helping support different access or manipulation needs without changing instruments as often. The hexagonal handle contributes a defined grip profile for controlled handling on the field. As a director, it can assist with guiding material through or around a working area; as a ligature tucker, it supports practical placement and tucking tasks. This combination makes it a useful, space-conscious addition to general surgical instrument sets.

Use Cases

• Guide ligatures through or around a surgical working area during general surgery procedures.
• Tuck and position ligature material using the instrument’s designated ligature-tucker function.
• Use the double-ended configuration when different working ends are helpful for changing access or task requirements.
• Support routine directing and material-handling steps where a 7 1/4-inch instrument is appropriate.
