Kalt Needle Holder 14cm

Clinical Application

Compact 14 cm construction provides enhanced control for precise needle placement in confined or delicate operative fields. Common uses include soft-tissue approximation and wound closure in minor general procedures, ambulatory surgery, and other open procedures where a shorter, more tactile instrument is preferred. The instrument is intended to hold and orient curved and straight surgical needles for accurate suturing and knot tying.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle format with ratchet lock offers reproducible, hands-free needle retention once clamped, reducing the need for continuous grip pressure and improving suture control. Short, serrated jaws concentrate gripping force at the needle shaft to minimize slippage while allowing controlled rotation of the needle for precise passage through tissue. The compact overall length improves access and tactile feedback in restricted workspaces.
