Barraquer Needle Holder 11cm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate suturing tasks where precise needle control and minimal tissue disruption are required. Commonly used in ophthalmic procedures (corneal, conjunctival, eyelid and oculoplastic work) and other microsurgical settings where small needles and fine sutures are handled in confined operative fields. The instrument's low profile and fine jaw geometry support accurate needle orientation and tight suture placement.

Design & Configuration

The spring-action configuration provides rapid opening and responsive tactile feedback to the operator, enabling controlled, repeated needle grasps without the bulk of ring-handles. Short, fine jaws reduce obstruction of the surgical view and improve access inside small anatomical spaces. The 11 cm overall length balances reach with fingertip control, making it suitable for close, precision work where both stability and maneuverability are essential.
