Main Description
Point needles are Valleylab's microsurgical electrode line: fine tungsten needle tips that concentrate monopolar energy at a pinpoint for delicate work. Straight needles come in 2 cm and 3 cm lengths for shallow precision work and a 9 cm Safety Sleeve version for handswitching pencils. Angled needles bend 45 degrees either 3 mm or 1 cm from the tip, letting the surgeon reach around structures while keeping the hand in a natural position. Tungsten's fine, durable point serves plastic, reconstructive, ENT and other microsurgical dissection where a blade is too broad. Needles are supplied ten per case as listed in sterile single-use format.
Features and Benefits
- Pinpoint energy – The fine tungsten point coagulates and dissects at a scale blades cannot match.
- Angled access – Two bend positions on the 45 degree needles solve line-of-sight problems in confined anatomy.
- Microsurgery focus – The line exists specifically for delicate tissue work, not general cutting.
- Safety Sleeve option – The long version pairs the needle with the protective sleeve for handswitching use.

Why Choose This Product
Microsurgical services are exact about their needles. The Point line's bend and length matrix is why it is specified. One listing covering straight, angled and sleeved needles keeps the microsurgery cart complete.
- Bend matrix – Two bend positions at 45 degrees is the differentiator for working around anatomy.
- True micro tips – Tungsten points stay sharp and fine through the case, unlike improvised bent blades.
- Specialty fit – The range maps to plastic, ENT and reconstructive preference cards directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why tungsten for microsurgical needles?
Tungsten can be drawn to a very fine, strong point that holds its shape and concentrates energy precisely. That combination is what microsurgical dissection and pinpoint hemostasis require.
What do the angled versions solve?
The 45 degree bend lets the tip reach tissue that sits around a corner from the pencil's approach, with the bend placed 3 mm or 1 cm from the tip depending on how much working end the surgeon wants. The shorter offset suits fine surface work, while the longer offset reaches further around structures.
Is this device sterile and single use?
Yes. It is supplied sterile for single use unless its label states otherwise, and it must not be reprocessed or reused. Check the package integrity and expiry before every case.
How should this device be stored?
Store it in its original packaging under normal room conditions away from heat sources and moisture. Rotate stock by expiry date and quarantine any unit with damaged packaging.
What if a configuration I need is not listed?
