Mathieu Needle Holder 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise needle handling and controlled suture placement, this Mathieu needle holder is used for skin closure and superficial soft‑tissue approximation where a low‑profile, tactile instrument is preferred. The 24 cm length provides reach for procedures in minor general surgery, plastic and reconstructive cases, ENT and dental surgeries, and ambulatory or clinic‑based closures. Its geometry aids fine needle rotation and controlled advancement without slippage, making it suitable for interrupted and running sutures in delicate tissues.

Design & Configuration

The Mathieu pattern features short jaws and a low‑profile head to maximize visibility at the bite point and reduce bulk in confined surgical sites. A spring‑action, self‑retaining ratchet common to the Mathieu design permits rapid single‑handed clamping and temporary needle retention, helping streamline suturing steps without repeatedly regrasping the needle. The 24 cm overall length balances tactile control with extended reach for slightly deeper or less accessible closures while keeping hand fatigue to a minimum.
