Wangensteen Needle Holder Narrow 27cm

Clinical Application

This narrow, long-shanked needle holder is intended to securely grasp suture needles and enable precise needle placement and knot tying in deep or confined open operative fields. The fine jaw profile improves visibility of the needle tip and facilitates controlled transfers, making it useful for suturing where access is limited and reach is required.

Design & Configuration

The narrow jaw geometry minimizes obstruction at the operative site while offering a slim profile that can pass between tissue planes. The 27 cm overall length provides extended reach into deeper cavities without sacrificing tactile feedback at the finger rings. A ratchet locking mechanism permits reliable needle retention during stitch placement and knot formation; ergonomically contoured rings support stable handling during prolonged suturing tasks.
