What needle holders do
A needle holder grips the suture needle and drives it through tissue. It leaves the surgeon's fingers free of the needle.
Jaws and TC inserts
Serrated jaws grip the needle well. Smooth jaws protect fine sutures. TC jaws carry inserts, which our sources do not define. We confirm the insert material with the maker.
Length and reach
Short holders give fine control. Long holders reach deep fields such as the pelvis.
Cleaning and sterilising
Rinse off blood right after use. Clean the jaws and box joint with a soft brush. Sterilise as the maker directs. Dry the instrument and store it open. Check the jaws meet and the lock holds before each case. Replace holders with worn jaws. Do not use a holder that slips on the needle. Keep a count of instruments after every procedure.
Care and usage tips
- Match holder to needle size.
- Check the jaws before use.
- Clean the box joint.
- Store holders open.
