Mathieu Needle Holder delicate 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed to securely grasp small surgical needles during delicate suturing tasks, this Mathieu needle holder is intended for procedures that require fine control and frequent one-handed releases. Common applications include skin closure and soft-tissue approximation in plastic and reconstructive procedures, ophthalmic, ENT, and pediatric cases, or any setting where needle visibility and minimal needle distortion are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The Mathieu pattern uses a compact, spring-action geometry that enables rapid opening and precise, tactile control without a bulky hinge. The delicate jaw profile reduces the contact area on the needle, minimizing deformation while maintaining a reliable grip on fine needles. At 17 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and fingertip control for working in confined operative fields.
