Macphail Needle Holder copper Jaw 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to securely grasp and manipulate suture needles during tissue approximation, ligation and knot-tying. The instrument is suitable for procedures that require controlled needle orientation and minimal needle slippage, including general soft-tissue surgery and specialty cases where needle protection is important.

Design & Configuration

The Macphail pattern provides a balanced shaft-to-handle geometry that facilitates precise fingertip control while maintaining adequate reach. The 18 cm length offers a compromise between reach and tactile feedback, allowing direct needle placement in confined fields without excessive hand fatigue. The locking mechanism secures the needle in position for consistent handling during suturing and knot-tying.
