Description

The Jacobson Heavy Style Needle Holder is designed for cardiovascular and vascular procedures where larger needles need to be handled securely. Compared with finer microsurgical needle holders, its heavier construction gives it a more substantial feel in the hand. This can be useful when suturing requires a firmer grip without giving up the control needed for careful needle placement.

The straight jaws have a diamond-dusted surface that grips the needle and helps prevent it from slipping during suturing. The design is intended for larger needles and 3/0 suture sizes, making it suited to procedures where a finer needle holder may not provide enough holding strength.

Locking and non-locking versions are available. The locking pattern can hold the needle once the required grip has been established, while the non-locking version allows the surgeon to control the grip directly through the handles. This gives some choice in how the instrument is used during different suturing techniques.

This needle holder comes in 18 cm (7″), 23 cm (9″), and 25 cm (10″) lengths. The different sizes provide options for working at varying depths and around different anatomical areas. The longer versions can provide additional reach, while the shorter pattern offers a more compact option when working closer to the operative site.

As with any needle holder used for precise suturing, the jaws need to meet evenly and open and close smoothly. Each instrument undergoes quality inspection to check its construction and jaw function before supply. It is manufactured from premium surgical-grade materials for repeated use in the operating room.

For cardiovascular and vascular procedures involving larger needles, the Jacobson Heavy Style Needle Holder provides a sturdier alternative to finer needle holders. Its diamond-dusted straight jaws, choice of locking mechanism, and three available lengths give surgeons practical options according to the procedure and their preferred handling technique.
