Johnson Needle Holder 27cm

Clinical Application

This 27 cm Johnson needle holder is designed for secure handling and manipulation of suture needles in open surgical procedures where additional reach or working distance is needed. It is commonly used for general surgery, abdominal and thoracic procedures, obstetrics/gynecology, and other cases that require controlled needle placement in deeper or less accessible tissue planes. The ratcheted handle allows sustained clamping while passing or tying sutures, reducing the need for repeated manual re-grasping.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's ring-handled, ratcheted design provides tactile feedback and a reliable locking mechanism for sustained needle retention during placement and ligation. At 27 cm overall length, the shaft offers added reach to access deeper operative fields without sacrificing leverage at the jaws. The geometry of the needle-holding jaws concentrates clamping force at the needle shaft for consistent control during needle passage and knot-tying.
