Barraquer Needle Holder w. hollow handle 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precision needle control during delicate suturing tasks, this instrument is well suited to ophthalmic and other microsurgical procedures where controlled placement of small needles is required. The fine, short jaws allow secure engagement of small-diameter suture needles while minimizing tissue disturbance, making it appropriate for eyelid, lacrimal, corneal, and fine plastic/reconstructive closures.

Design & Configuration

The Barraquer-style geometry provides a narrow, fine tip for access in confined operative fields. The hollow handle reduces overall instrument weight and shifts the balance toward the tip to improve tactile feedback and hand control during delicate maneuvers. The hand-held configuration supports precise, single-handed needle placement and incremental adjustments without bulk that can obstruct the surgical field.
