ABSTRACT:
A surgical wire guide for facilitating the installation of surgical wire around structures to form a ligature. A curved guide has a groove extending along the length thereof and terminates in either a blind, undercut tip portion or an apertured tip portion. A surgical wire is received in the groove and is retained in the tip portion by either the blind undercut or the wall surrounding the aperture. The other end of the guide from the tip end is configured so that the adjacent portion of the surgical wire in the groove can be clamped to the body of the guide by a hand held clamping device. The guide provides a relatively rigid carrier for enabling the surgical wire to be maneuvered through the soft tissue without tearing the tissue and around the structures to be wired.
