Arruga Needle Holder 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure grasping and manipulation of suture needles during procedures that require precise control. The instrument is well suited to delicate soft-tissue work where fine needle placement and consistent tactile feedback are important, including ophthalmic, plastic/reconstructive, microsurgical and other cases involving small-diameter needles.

Design & Configuration

The ratchet-locking handle with finger rings provides stable needle retention and hands-free holding once the desired grip is achieved, reducing the need for repeated readjustment. Short, fine jaws concentrate gripping force at the needle shaft for controlled rotation and placement while minimizing lateral play. This geometry improves accuracy when passing needles through delicate tissues and facilitates atraumatic handling during knot tying.
