Barraquer Needle Holder serr 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate needle control during ophthalmic and other microsurgical procedures, this instrument provides secure handling of small-gauge needles used in corneal, conjunctival, eyelid, lacrimal and anterior segment suturing. The short overall length and fine serrated jaws make it appropriate for procedures that require precise needle placement within a confined surgical field, including cataract wound closure, pterygium repair, and anterior segment reconstruction.

Design & Configuration

The spring-action, tweezer-style geometry enables rapid, single-handed opening and closing with tactile feedback that helps the surgeon control needle rotation and depth. Serrated jaws increase grip security on fine needles without requiring excessive compressive force, reducing the risk of needle slippage or damage. The 14 cm length balances reach and fingertip control, permitting working close to the operative site while maintaining comfortable ergonomics for prolonged procedures.
