Surgical Needle Holder 13.3 cm (5.2)

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The 5 1/4" Diethrich Needle Holder is a surgical instrument designed to grasp, guide, and control needles during suturing in general surgery. Its 5.25" overall length provides a practical balance of working reach and hand control for routine needle-handling tasks. The instrument supports organized, deliberate movements as the user positions a needle, advances it through tissue, and prepares for subsequent passes. Its compact form can also help maintain a clear working area around the operative site. For professional surgical workflows, this needle holder provides a focused tool for dependable needle manipulation without adding unnecessary instrument length.
