Straight 5in Needle Holder Instrument w/ Case 7x1.5in

Microsurgical Needle Holder | 5" Straight | Spring-Loaded | Stainless Steel | Includes 7" Travel Case

This 5-inch (12.7 cm) Straight Needle Holder is a precision-engineered instrument designed for the manipulation of micro-sutures and fine needles (typically 6-0 to 10-0). Unlike traditional ring-handled needle holders, this model utilizes a spring-loaded (Castroviejo-style) handle. This design allows the surgeon to activate the jaws using a "pencil-grip" motion, providing superior tactile feedback and significantly higher rotational precision in confined surgical fields.

Constructed from high-grade surgical stainless steel, the instrument features fine, serrated jaws that provide a non-slip grip on micro-needles without damaging the structural integrity of the wire.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Enhanced Fine-Motor Control: The spring-loaded handle translates small finger movements into precise jaw actuation. This is essential for microsurgical procedures where the large-scale movements of standard ring-handled instruments could cause tissue trauma.

• Tapered Micro-Jaws: The 5-inch profile terminates in ultra-fine jaws, allowing for the secure grasping of needles in deep or narrow anatomical corridors, such as the anterior chamber of the eye or during vascular anastomosis.

• Integrated Protective Case: The included 7 x 1.5-inch case is a critical component for maintaining the alignment of the fine tips. It prevents the jaws from being bent or blunted during transit or within a larger sterilization tray.

• Non-Reflective Finish: The stainless steel is treated to reduce glare from surgical microscopes and high-intensity overhead lighting, ensuring a clear, high-contrast view of the suture needle.

• Fatigue Reduction: The ergonomic spring tension is calibrated to provide immediate opening once pressure is released, reducing hand strain during long, repetitive suturing sequences in reconstructive or ophthalmic cases.

Applications

• Ophthalmology: Corneal and scleral suturing.

• Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Micro-vascular and nerve repair.

• Dermatology: High-precision facial closures and Mohs surgery.

• Laboratory Research: Microsurgical dissection and small-animal model suturing.
