Lichtenberg Needle Holder 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled needle handling during suturing, this Lichtenberg needle holder provides secure purchase on suture needles for soft-tissue approximation, layered wound closure, and routine operative suturing tasks. The 20 cm length offers extended reach for deeper pockets and abdominal or pelvic procedures while maintaining tactile feedback for precise needle placement.

Design & Configuration

Ring handles with an integrated ratchet-lock provide reliable, incremental clamping force and permit one-handed locking and release during suturing. The elongated 20 cm shaft balances reach and control, allowing access into confined or deep operative fields without excessive bulk at the tip. The jaw geometry is configured to stabilize the needle axis for predictable needle rotation and passage through tissue, reducing slippage during knot tying.
