Jacobson Needle Holder str w/catch 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise needle handling in procedures that require controlled, delicate suturing, this Jacobson-style needle holder is suited to ophthalmic, microsurgical, otolaryngology (ENT), plastic and reconstructive cases, and other soft-tissue closures in confined operative fields. The 18.5 cm length provides a balance between reach and tactile feedback, enabling accurate placement of small suture needles in close or limited-access anatomy.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry delivers direct line-of-sight control and predictable tip orientation, which is important when passing fine needles through delicate tissue. Short, fine jaws concentrate holding force at the needle body to reduce slippage and minimize needle rotation. The integrated catch (ratchet) permits secure, repeatable locking at the desired tension, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged suturing and allowing single-handed needle control when tying or advancing sutures.
