Toennis Needle Holder 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to hold suture needles securely during passage through tissue and during knot formation. The instrument's short, precise jaws and ratchet lock facilitate controlled needle rotation and fine positioning in confined or delicate operative fields. Commonly used for skin and soft-tissue closure and for procedures that require tactile feedback and secure needle control.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle format with a positive ratchet lock provides tactile feedback and a stable grip while tying knots. The 18 cm overall length balances reach and maneuverability, allowing access into shallow cavities while maintaining hand control for delicate needle work. Short, fine jaws concentrate gripping force at the needle shaft to reduce slippage and improve needle orientation during passage and knot tying.
