Surgical Needle Holder Straight 18.4 cm (7.2)

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The 7 1/4" Needle Holder straight lock is a surgical instrument designed to hold and guide needles during suturing in general surgery. Its straight profile supports a direct working orientation, while the locking mechanism helps maintain a controlled grip during needle positioning and passage. The 7.25" overall length provides a practical reach for routine operative handling without adding unnecessary instrument length. This configuration can support organized suture work, consistent needle control, and efficient instrument handling across general surgical workflows. Use should follow the technique, procedure requirements, and facility protocols applicable to the case.

Use Cases

• Holding a suture needle securely while positioning it for passage during general surgical closure.
• Guiding needles through tissue along a direct, straight instrument orientation.
• Maintaining controlled needle handling during repeated suturing steps.
• Supporting routine open surgical workflows where a locking needle holder is appropriate.
• Using the 7.25" length to provide practical working reach during general surgery procedures.
