FIRSTPASS Suture Passer
The FIRSTPASS Suture Passer is a single-use surgical system engineered to streamline suture management in shoulder arthroscopy. By arriving in sterile packaging and featuring a pre-loaded configuration, the device is intended to facilitate immediate, out-of-the-box use, reducing setup time for the surgical team. Its design philosophy centers on providing consistent performance and reliability during complex orthopedic procedures, ensuring that surgeons have a tool that is always ready when needed. The system incorporates a pre-curved, round nitinol needle designed to provide structural strength and consistent targeting accuracy. To further enhance clinical reliability, the needle includes a specialized recess intended to carry and protect the suture throughout the passage process, which is designed to preserve suture integrity. The device is available in both self-capturing and standard versions and utilizes a two-step trigger mechanism, designed to provide surgeons with precise control when grasping tissue and deploying the needle. This combination of features is intended to support efficient and secure tissue repair in a variety of arthroscopic applications.
