Controlled Reach for Precise Suturing Work

The Wertheim needle holder is a surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its curved profile and 9-inch overall length provide a practical combination of reach and angled access for work in areas where a straight instrument may be less convenient. Tungsten carbide construction at the working surface supports dependable needle engagement and controlled handling throughout routine surgical workflows. This configuration is suited to the varied demands of General Surgery, while also fitting procedural environments in Bariatric Surgery and Cardiovascular applications where deliberate instrument positioning and consistent needle control are important.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding suture needles during General Surgery procedures.
• Supporting suturing tasks in Bariatric Surgery where extended reach and curved access may assist instrument positioning.
• Handling needles during Cardiovascular procedures that require controlled placement within a focused operative field.
• Providing an angled approach for routine needle manipulation when a curved needle holder is preferred.
