Janet Ratziu: 10:45 Jan 17, 2008: Hi Maureen. Could you give us some more context about the device itself? mpt_21: 11:24 Jan 17, 2008: Aiguilles Droites Surmoulées Tampographiées - Thanks for your assistance, Janet. As it is a Batch Record document I have limited information. For "tampographiées" I only found "pad-printed" so I am non the wiser. It concerns a Kit used for urinary incontinence for which mesh is used mpt_21: 16:31 Jan 17, 2008: "straight needles" - I did wonder about this myself but as the item underneath is "Aiguilles Gauches Surmoulées Tampographiées" I assume it must be "right".
Thanks very much for your help with this phrase.
Best wishes
Maureen Drmanu49: 16:40 Jan 17, 2008: I am not sure about the needle's specific curvature. I would go with needle to be used on the right side with the needle passer. The embossing is there to indicate right or left? Drmanu49: 16:40 Jan 17, 2008: I am not sure about the needle's specific curvature.

Drmanu49: 16:44 Jan 17, 2008: Yes, it is the passers which are specifically designed for left or right side use. See my ref ext. liz askew: 17:39 Jan 17, 2008: Well, considering the very little context we were given, I am giving myself a bit pat on the back....! Drmanu49: 17:44 Jan 17, 2008: I have no problem with patting Liz on the back! ;-) liz askew: 17:49 Jan 17, 2008: I have to ask, how do we know from the context given that there are any passers?? Sure, you can assume this from researching the term, but is "passers" actually in the original French?? I think Maureen needs a big pat on the back too, for taking such a liz askew: 17:50 Jan 17, 2008: task on board! Bye for now. Drmanu49: 17:51 Jan 17, 2008: OK, pats for everybody.

Specifically, the Monarc system simplifies rotation of the needle passer during insertion and extraction around the inferior aspect of the ischiopubic ramus. The 3-mm–diameter passers are specifically designed for right-side or left-side use. They are attached to fixed handles to create a natural wrist rotation. The sling connectors, meanwhile, facilitate rapid, effortless, and secure mesh placement and fixation.

Notably, such a surgical instrument need not have substantial structure in three dimensions. Preferably, the needle comprises a pair of ends having surfaces for affording association with either an implantable sling material or a removable handle. In one embodiment, the needle is sized and shaped for use on either the patient's right side or left side.
The Monarc transobturator sling, introduced in Europe in January 2003, has been used successfully in more than 1,000 procedures.
Specifically, the Monarc system simplifies rotation of the needle passer during insertion and extraction around the inferior aspect of the ischiopubic ramus. The 3-mm–diameter passers are specifically designed for right-side or left-side use. They are attached to fixed handles to create a natural wrist rotation. The sling connectors, meanwhile, facilitate rapid, effortless, and secure mesh placement and fixation.

One last thought,
Could "tampographiées" = embossed??
i.e. with manufacturer's name or size of needle??
Who knows!
