Crile-Wood Needle Holder 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed to secure and manipulate suture needles during tissue approximation and knot tying, especially when fine control is required. The 20 cm length provides increased reach for working in deeper or narrow operative fields without sacrificing tactile feedback. Commonly used for precise soft-tissue suturing in general surgery, gynecology, vascular work and plastic/reconstructive procedures where reliable needle capture and placement are essential.

Design & Configuration

Ring handles with an interlocking ratchet provide controlled closure and secure needle retention throughout suturing and knot-tying. The Crile-Wood profile features a slender, tapered working end and fine serrations that minimize needle slippage while maximizing visibility at the tip. The longer shaft length offers extended reach into cavities or deep wounds, and the classic box-lock joint construction delivers dependable alignment and long-term durability with routine maintenance.
