10 DeBakey Lambert Modified

Controlled Suture Handling for General Surgery

The 10" DeBakey Lambert Modified is a needle holder designed to grasp, guide, and control surgical needles during suturing in general surgery. Its 10-inch length provides a practical working reach for routine operative handling while supporting clear access to the suture field. The modified DeBakey Lambert pattern identifies the instrument within a familiar needle-holder design family, helping surgical teams select a purpose-built tool for needle manipulation rather than relying on general grasping instruments. It is suited to workflows that require deliberate needle positioning, steady control, and efficient transitions between suture passes.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide surgical needles during routine suturing tasks in general surgery.
• Support controlled needle positioning when passing sutures through the operative field.
• Use the 10-inch working length where additional reach is useful for access to the surgical site.
• Maintain a dedicated needle-handling instrument within general-surgery suturing workflows.
