The Buhner Needle 12" is a specialized veterinary obstetrical instrument designed for placement of Buhner tape or similar suture material during procedures used to manage vaginal prolapse in cattle. Its long curved profile provides the working reach required for passing tape around the vaginal opening during the Buhner suture technique.
The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as SKU PS-VS-00582 and has a confirmed overall size of 12 inches (30.5 cm). The product is intended for professional large-animal veterinary use, particularly in heifers and cows.
The current Peak Surgicals listing confirms an overall size of 12 inches (30.5 cm). The elongated configuration provides the reach associated with the Buhner suture technique while allowing the veterinarian to control the needle from the handle.
This exact size should be referenced when comparing the instrument with Buhner needles of different lengths.
The product description identifies a curved, elongated design. This profile is intended to help guide the instrument through the required tissue path during placement of Buhner tape or compatible suture material.
Before use, the needle should be inspected for bending, surface damage, or deformation that could affect normal handling.
The Buhner Needle is specifically designed for use with the Buhner suture technique. The current Peak Surgicals page identifies this method in the management of vaginal prolapse in cattle.
The technique involves passing tape or suitable suture material around the vaginal opening to provide support after prolapse correction. The exact placement and closure technique should be determined by the veterinarian according to the animal's condition.
The current product description specifically states compatibility with Buhner tape and umbilical tape. The needle is designed to guide the selected tape through the required tissue path during the procedure.
Buyers should confirm the required tape type and dimensions separately because the current product page does not specify a particular tape width or thickness for PS-VS-00582.
Peak Surgicals identifies the instrument for management of vaginal prolapse in heifers and cows. This places the Buhner Needle within large-animal obstetrical instrument sets used by veterinary professionals.
The exact clinical decision to use a Buhner suture, timing of removal, and management before calving should remain under veterinary supervision according to the animal's condition.
The Buhner Needle is listed within Peak Surgicals' Veterinary Obstetrical Instruments and Large Animal Veterinary Instruments collections. This confirms its product positioning for cattle and other appropriate large-animal obstetrical workflows.
The current page primarily references heifers and cows and does not provide species-specific specifications for other animals.
The current product page identifies the instrument as manufactured from stainless steel. The metallic construction provides the rigid structure required for a long reusable veterinary needle.
The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current page. Veterinary hospitals, clinics, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific alloy designation or material certificate should confirm that information before ordering.
The current Peak Surgicals description references an ergonomic handle designed to provide a secure gripping surface while the needle is guided during the procedure.
The exact handle dimensions and grip geometry are not specified on the product page.
The current product description identifies the Buhner Needle as reusable and sterilisable. Following clinical use, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the veterinary facility's established procedures.
The live page does not provide exact sterilization-cycle temperature, pressure, or exposure-time parameters, so these values should not be assumed.
