Crile Needle Holder 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure control of suture needles during tissue approximation and wound closure, this Crile needle holder is commonly used in general surgical procedures, minor operations, and procedure-room suturing. The instrument’s short jaw profile allows precise needle positioning in superficial and mid-depth tissues and in confined or delicate operative fields where tactile control and reduced needle rotation are important.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle geometry with a ratchet locking mechanism permits single-handed needle manipulation and sustained clamping while tying knots. The compact jaw length concentrates holding force at the needle shaft to minimize slippage without requiring excessive hand force. The 15 cm overall length offers a balance of reach and fine control—suitable for skin, subcutaneous, and superficial fascial closure—while maintaining ergonomics for repeated needle placement.

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability under repeated sterilization cycles. The instrument uses a precision box-lock joint and a multi-tooth ratchet for consistent engagement. The jaw serrations are engineered to hold needles securely without excessive deformation of the needle shaft. Constructed for repeated use and routine autoclave sterilization in clinical settings.
