Surgical Needle Holder 21.6 cm (8.5)

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The 8 1/2" Ryder Needle Holder is a general surgery instrument designed to grasp and control suture needles during suturing. Its 8.5" overall length provides a practical balance of working reach and instrument handling for routine operative tasks, helping support steady needle manipulation where controlled placement is required. As part of the needle holder family, it is suited to workflows that call for a dedicated instrument for holding, guiding, and repositioning needles rather than using forceps or other instruments outside their intended purpose. Its straightforward configuration supports familiar handling across general surgical settings and allows the instrument to be incorporated into established facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Hold and guide suture needles during general surgical suturing tasks.
• Reposition a needle between passes while maintaining controlled instrument handling.
• Support routine needle manipulation where an 8.5" overall length is suitable for the operative workflow.
• Use as a dedicated needle holder within general surgery instrument setups.
