Bruce Clark Needle Holder 12.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled grasping, driving and releasing of suture needles during tissue approximation, this instrument is suitable for a broad range of procedures that require precise needle control. Common uses include general soft-tissue closure, plastic and reconstructive procedures, minor ENT and outpatient surgical cases where a compact, reliable needle holder provides tactile feedback and secure needle retention.

Design & Configuration

The 12.5 cm length balances reach and fine motor control: long enough to access deeper sutures yet short enough to permit precise wrist movements for delicate needle placement. The finger-ring handle with a ratchet lock allows the surgeon to secure the needle at variable bite pressures without continuous grip force. Short, textured jaws concentrate grasping force at the needle shaft to minimize slippage while preserving needle orientation during passage and knot tying.
