Barraquer Needle Holder w/out catch 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precision needle control during fine suturing tasks, this Barraquer-style needle holder is commonly used in ophthalmic procedures, eyelid and periocular reconstruction, microsurgery, and other cases requiring delicate handling of small needles and suture material. The ratchetless configuration facilitates rapid release and fine adjustment of the needle position when operating in confined or high-magnification fields.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's short, fine jaws concentrate gripping force at the needle shaft to minimize needle slippage while reducing bulk at the tip for improved visibility under the microscope. The absence of a catch (ratchetless design) allows continuous tactile feedback and immediate release of the needle without the incremental locking steps of a ratcheted holder—advantages when performing delicate, high-precision passes or when frequent repositioning is required.
