Macphail Needle Holder copper Jaw 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled grasp and manipulation of suture needles during tissue approximation and wound closure. The instrument is appropriate for general surgical suturing tasks where reliable needle control is required—such as soft-tissue closures, minor procedures and operative settings that benefit from a compact needle holder profile. The copper jaw contact surfaces alter the instrument-to-needle interface, which can help manage needle engagement characteristics in delicate suturing scenarios.

Design & Configuration

The 14 cm overall length offers a balance between tactile control and working reach, making it suitable for both superficial closures and moderate-depth suturing. The Macphail pattern provides a narrow jaw profile to facilitate precise placement of the needle. A locking mechanism allows the user to maintain a sustained, consistent grip on the needle without continuous hand pressure, improving control during knot tying and multi-step suturing maneuvers.
