Clinical Application
Designed for controlled placement of suture needles in deep or confined operative fields, this long-shank needle holder is commonly used in gynecologic and obstetric procedures including vaginal cuff closure, perineal and episiotomy repair, uterine repair, and other deep soft-tissue suturing where access is limited. The extended length facilitates reach into the vaginal canal and pelvic cavity while keeping the surgeon’s hands clear of the field.
Design & Configuration
The long-shank profile provides additional reach and leverage for suturing in deep or narrow cavities. Ring handles and a ratcheting lock enable secure, sustained control of the needle without continuous finger pressure, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive suturing. The slim distal jaws are optimized to allow visualization of the needle and suture path while maintaining a firm grip for precise needle transfer and passage.
