Finochietto Needle Holder 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure needle handling and suture placement, this instrument is intended for procedures requiring firm, sustained control of curved or straight needles. The 18 cm length provides additional reach for work in deep cavities or confined operative fields, making it suitable for general surgical suturing and situations where precise needle orientation and reliable locking are essential.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle, ratchet-lock configuration offers tactile feedback and a positive lock on the needle during passage and tying. A relatively long shaft with short, serrated jaws increases mechanical advantage and allows the surgeon to manipulate needles with precision while maintaining a comfortable hand position. The straight geometry supports direct visualization of the needle tip and predictable handling in deep or narrow spaces.
