Halsey Needle Holder serr w/blood groove 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed to securely grasp and manipulate surgical needles during suturing, this instrument is intended for general soft-tissue approximation and wound closure across a range of settings including ambulatory surgery, minor procedure rooms, and operating theaters. The combination of serrated jaws and a longitudinal blood groove helps maintain needle purchase in bloody or wet fields, improving control during precise needle placement and knot tying.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a locking ratchet handle to maintain a stable needle hold without continuous manual pressure, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged closures. Serrated jaw faces provide positive purchase on needle shanks to minimize slippage, and the blood groove (a longitudinal channel along the jaw) helps channel fluids away from the gripping surface to reduce capillary pooling and improve visibility and grip in moist conditions. The 13 cm length offers a balance of reach and tactile control suited to both superficial and moderately deep tissue work.
