What is the angle of the up curve of the Knee Scorpion suture passers' jaw?

The angle of the up curve of the Knee Scorpion suture passers' jaw is specifically designed to facilitate the optimal maneuvering of sutures in the knee during surgical procedures. A 5-degree angle is beneficial because it allows for precision in accessing and passing sutures through the tissue while minimizing trauma and ensuring a more controlled approach.

This slight curvature is strategic; it provides enough engagement with the tissue without being overly aggressive, which might lead to complications or difficulties in suture placement. The design reflects a balance between effectiveness in suture placement and the anatomical considerations of the knee joint's complex structures.
