Barraquer Needle Holder 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate needle handling and precise suture placement, this Barraquer-style needle holder is optimized for ophthalmic and oculoplastic procedures where visibility and fingertip control are critical. Typical uses include corneal and conjunctival suturing, eyelid repair, lacrimal surgery, and other microsurgical soft-tissue closures requiring controlled, low-profile needle manipulation.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's compact 13 cm overall length and short, narrow jaws reduce hand and instrument bulk in the operative field, improving line-of-sight and access in tight anatomical spaces. The fine jaw geometry provides concentrated tip contact on small surgical needles to minimize slip while allowing precise rotation and placement. A slim, ergonomic shank supports comfortable fingertip control for delicate maneuvers and prolonged use in microsurgical cases.
