Description

The Crile Wood Needle Holder is a fine needle holder used when suturing requires a good deal of control. It is suited to plastic and reconstructive surgery, cardiovascular procedures, and other operations involving fine sutures and delicate tissue.

The jaws have tungsten carbide inserts, giving the needle a firm hold during suturing. The fine jaw profile is useful when working with smaller needles, particularly when the needle needs to be positioned or passed through tissue with care. The holder is available in lengths from 15 cm (6″) to 26 cm (10¼”), giving surgeons a choice depending on the working area and the amount of reach required.

The shorter sizes are convenient for work closer to the surface, while the longer versions can be useful when the operative site is deeper. Having several lengths also makes it possible to match the instrument to the procedure rather than relying on one size for every type of suturing.

The ratchet mechanism keeps the jaws closed around the needle once it has been secured. This gives the surgeon a steady hold while passing the needle through tissue. The fine jaws and relatively narrow working end are well suited to the detailed needle work involved in delicate closure and tissue approximation.

The instrument is made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. Each holder is inspected before supply, including the jaw alignment, tungsten carbide inserts, ratchet action, and overall finish. The stainless-steel construction provides a durable body for repeated surgical use and allows routine cleaning and maintenance.

With its fine jaws, tungsten carbide inserts, ratcheted design, and choice of lengths from 15 cm (6″) to 26 cm (10¼”), the Crile Wood Needle Holder is suited to precise needle handling in procedures where smaller sutures and careful needle placement are required.
