Barraquer Troutman N/Holder w/catch cvd 10cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise control of small suture needles in ophthalmic and other microsurgical procedures. The curved, short-jawed geometry permits secure handling of fine needles for corneal, conjunctival, eyelid and other delicate soft-tissue closures where space is limited. The integrated locking catch maintains needle position to reduce slip and operator fatigue during continuous or interrupted suturing.

Design & Configuration

The curved profile provides an angled approach that improves sightline and access in constrained operative fields, allowing the needle to be presented to tissue at an optimal orientation. Short, fine jaws concentrate gripping force on the needle body for consistent purchase without excessive bulk in the surgical field. The locking catch secures the needle during transfer and suturing, enabling controlled release when repositioning is required. A 10 cm overall length balances reach and tactile precision for microsurgical tasks.
