Jacobson Needle Holder str w/o catch 18.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise handling of needles and fine sutures, this Jacobson needle holder is intended for procedures that require delicate control and rapid release of the needle. Typical uses include ophthalmic, ear/nose/throat (ENT), plastic and reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, and other cases where small needles and minimal tissue manipulation are required. The instrument's fine jaws provide secure purchase on small needle bodies without excessive crushing, helping maintain needle orientation during stitch placement.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft and absence of a catch (ratchet) deliver direct tactile feedback and immediate manual release of the needle, which many surgeons prefer during fine, continuous, or microsurgical suturing. At 18.5 cm overall length, the profile balances reach with precise tip control—longer than miniature microsurgical holders but compact enough for confined operative fields. The short, fine serrated jaw faces concentrate clamping force on the needle shaft, improving control while minimizing bulk at the working tip.
