Macphail Needle Holder Copper Jaw 20cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure handling and controlled manipulation of suture needles during soft-tissue approximation and ligation. The 20 cm length offers extended reach for deeper wounds or operative fields while maintaining tactile feedback for precise needle placement. Appropriate for general surgical closures, gynecologic and abdominal procedures, and any setting where reliable needle control is required.

Design & Configuration

Ring handles with a ratchet-lock mechanism permit a positive, hands-free hold on the needle once clamped, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged suturing. The 20 cm overall length balances reach and control—longer than fingertip holders but compact enough for fine intra-cavity work. Copper-faced jaws are configured to engage the needle shaft securely while distributing clamping force across the contact surface, supporting consistent needle orientation and placement.
