Barraquer Micro Needle Holder w/catch 14cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for precision needle handling in ophthalmic and other microsurgical procedures where control of very small suture needles is required. It is commonly used for eyelid, conjunctival and corneal suturing, repair of delicate periocular tissues, and any procedure that demands fine tactile feedback and secure needle placement within a confined operative field.

Design & Configuration

The Barraquer micro pattern features short, fine jaws that concentrate grip force at the needle for enhanced control while minimizing bulk at the tip. The incorporated catch (locking mechanism) allows the surgeon to maintain a steady hold on the needle without continuous manual compression, facilitating accurate placement and knot tying in tight spaces. The 14 cm length balances reach and finger control—long enough to access deeper or recessed targets while retaining a familiar ergonomic profile for microsurgical technique.
