Kilner Needle Holder 16.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for secure handling of suturing needles during soft-tissue approximation, this needle holder is optimized for fine to medium suturing tasks where precise needle control and tactile feedback are required. Common procedural uses include skin and subcutaneous closure, delicate soft-tissue repair, and procedures demanding reliable single-handed needle rotation and passage.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handled, box-lock geometry with a ratchet locking mechanism provides controlled clamping force and repeatable, hands-free retention of the needle while suturing. The 16.5 cm length balances reach and maneuverability—long enough to access deeper or confined operative sites while remaining compact enough for fine wrist movements. Fine cross-serrated jaws improve grip on round-bodied needles without excessive compression that can deform needle curvature, supporting accurate placement and smooth continuous suturing.
