Description

The DeBakey Needle Holder is used for fine suturing in procedures where the needle needs to be handled with care. It is commonly used in vascular, cardiovascular, plastic, reconstructive, and microsurgical procedures. Mostly when working with fine needles and delicate suture material.

The holder has fine jaws with tungsten carbide inserts. These provide a firm grip on the needle and are made to withstand repeated use. The narrow jaw profile also gives the surgeon better control when positioning a small needle and passing it through tissue.

There are four length options: 18 cm (7″), 23 cm (9″), 26 cm (10¼”), and 30 cm (12″). The shorter size is convenient for work close to the surgical site, while the longer versions provide more reach for deeper operative areas. Having several sizes also allows the instrument to be selected according to the procedure rather than using one length for every application.

The ratchet mechanism holds the jaws around the needle during suturing. This gives the user a steady grip while the needle is being passed through tissue. The fine working end is particularly suited to detailed suturing, where positioning the needle accurately is more important than applying heavy force.

The instrument is made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. Before supply, it is inspected for jaw alignment, the condition of the tungsten carbide inserts, ratchet movement, and overall finish. The stainless-steel body provides the durability needed for repeated surgical use and can be cleaned and maintained as part of routine instrument care.

Available in 18 cm (7″), 23 cm (9″), 26 cm (10¼”), and 30 cm (12″), the DeBakey Needle Holder provides different reach options for fine needle handling in delicate suturing procedures.
