Mathieu Needle Holder 20cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled needle handling for skin and soft-tissue closure in ambulatory, dermatologic, plastic, dental, ENT and other minor surgical procedures. The compact jaw geometry concentrates holding force at the needle shaft, improving needle control during passage through thin or delicate tissues and during precise intraoperative knot placement.

Design & Configuration

The Mathieu pattern features a short, firm jaw and a spring-action handling profile that enables rapid open/close cycles and refined tactile feedback. The 20 cm overall length offers reach into shallow to moderate depth operative fields while maintaining surgeon control at the distal tip. This configuration is well-suited to repeated single-handed suturing tasks where speed and consistent needle orientation are important.
