Clinical Application
Designed to provide precise control of suture needles during delicate operative tasks. The straight Jacobson needle holder with a catch is intended for procedures that require fine needle manipulation and a secure lock on the needle shaft—common uses include ophthalmic, ENT, plastic and reconstructive surgery, microsurgical work and other situations where controlled, low-profile needle handling reduces tissue trauma and improves stitch placement. The 21 cm length offers extended reach for deeper wounds or when working through small incisions.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft delivers a direct line of sight and force transmission from handle to tip, facilitating accurate needle alignment and passage. The instrument’s short, finely serrated jaws concentrate grip on the needle while minimizing bulk at the tip, improving tactile feedback. The integrated catch (ratchet-style locking mechanism) holds the needle securely in position without continuous manual pressure, enabling controlled suturing and consistent knot tying in confined operative fields.
