Finochietto Needle Holder 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure control of suture needles during open procedures, this Finochietto-style needle holder is suitable for suturing in thoracic and other general surgical cases where longer reach and robust needle handling are required. The instrument supports accurate needle placement in deeper cavities and confined operative fields, reducing the need for repeated needle regrasping and minimizing tissue handling.

Design & Configuration

The 20 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control: the extended shaft accesses deeper operative sites while the finger-ring handles maintain fine motor precision. A ratchet locking mechanism permits the surgeon to lock needle position securely without continuous grip force. Cross-serrated jaw faces are configured to bite the needle shaft firmly and resist rotation, improving needle stability during passage through dense tissue and when applying torque.
