Stevenson Needle Holder 11cm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate needle handling and knot-tying in confined operative fields, this instrument is well suited to procedures that require fine control and a low-profile working length. Common uses include dermatologic and plastic surgery closures, otolaryngology and oral soft-tissue suturing, hand surgery, and minor procedures where tactile control of small suture needles is critical.

Design & Configuration

The compact 11 cm length and short jaw geometry reduce instrument bulk at the wound edge, improving visibility and access in shallow or narrow operative sites. Ring handles provide stable finger placement and precise rotational control during needle passage; the ratchet mechanism maintains a secure grip on the needle while permitting quick release for knot tying. Fine transverse serrations on the jaws enhance needle purchase while minimizing slip and needle deformation.
