Converse Needle Holder Curved 12.0 cm (4.7) TC (Gold Handle)

Controlled Needle Handling for Surgical Workflows

The Converse needle holder is a 4 3/4-inch instrument designed to grasp, guide, and control surgical needles during suturing. Its curved profile supports access and visibility around the operative field, while serrated jaws help maintain contact with the needle during handling. The ratchet handle provides a secure, repeatable grip for controlled manipulation through successive suturing steps. This configuration is suited to both cardiovascular and general surgery workflows where dependable needle positioning and practical instrument handling are important. The gold ring handle and named TC jaw configuration provide clear product identification within a focused needle-holder setup.

• Support controlled needle handling during general surgery closure and repair tasks.
• Use the curved profile to approach suturing sites where instrument shape can support access and visualization.
• Engage the ratchet handle when a repeatable grip is useful across successive needle passes.
