Crile-Wood Needle Holder 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide precise control of suture needles in delicate soft-tissue procedures, this instrument is well suited for skin, subcutaneous, mucosal, and other superficial closures where fine needle control is required. The slender jaws permit work in confined or shallow operative fields and reduce interference with surrounding tissue, making it a common choice in general surgery, minor procedures, and specialty clinics for interrupted and continuous suturing.

Design & Configuration

The straight ring-handle configuration with a ratchet lock provides reliable, hands-free needle fixation once engaged. Narrow, tapered jaws concentrate clamping force at the needle shaft to minimize slippage without excessive bulk, improving visibility and access in tight spaces. A precision box-lock hinge maintains tip alignment and consistent jaw action over repeated use, and the ergonomics of the ring handles support controlled, low-force manipulation during fine suturing tasks.
