Clinical Application
Designed for secure needle handling and controlled suture placement, this Stratte-style needle holder is intended for procedures that require extended reach and precise needle orientation. The 23 cm length offers improved access to deeper or less accessible operative fields, making it suitable for general soft-tissue closure, abdominal and pelvic procedures, and other cases where longer shaft length improves access without requiring additional retraction.
Design & Configuration
The instrument uses conventional ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism to provide repeatable, reliable needle retention and one-handed locking. Fine, short jaws allow accurate needle tip control and orientation while minimizing slippage. The longer shaft increases working reach and keeps the surgeon's hands away from the field, which can be advantageous in deep cavities; surgeons should consider the trade-off between reach and tactile feedback when selecting length.
