Frequently asked questions
Are these needle holders made from durable material?
Yes, these instruments are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring they are robust and reliable during use.
Is this instrument safe for those with latex allergies?
Absolutely. These needle holders are 100% free of natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for environments with latex-sensitive patients or staff.
Do the jaws provide a reliable grip for needles?
The jaws are specifically designed for maximum control. They feature cross-serrated surfaces combined with a central groove, which work together to firmly cradle and prevent the slippage of larger, heavier suture needles.
How do these help maintain procedural efficiency?
As part of the Sklar Econo line, these instruments are perfect for high-volume settings where cost-effectiveness and single-use convenience are critical. By using disposable instruments, you reduce the time and expense associated with cleaning and sterilization cycles.
What types of procedures are these best suited for?
Their 5-1/4” length and wide-jaw design make them highly versatile for a variety of tasks, including:
- General surgery
- Bariatric procedures
- Oral and gynecological surgery
- Dermatological procedures
Does the ratchet mechanism hold securely during use?
Yes, the handle features a reliable ratchet lock near the finger rings. This mechanism allows you to lock the jaws into place, ensuring the needle remains securely held throughout the duration of your suturing.
Are these tools considered high-quality despite being disposable?
Yes. Even though they are designed as ‘Econo’ grade for single-use applications, they are backed by a Lifetime Warranty, reflecting Sklar’s commitment to manufacturing quality and design integrity.
Are these delivered in a ready-to-use sterile state?
No, these units are supplied non-sterile. Please ensure that they are processed according to your facility’s protocols for surgical instruments before use.
What is the benefit of the Econo grade design?
The Econo grade is specifically engineered to be a cost-effective solution for high-volume procedural needs. It provides a professional-grade instrument that offers the necessary functionality without the overhead costs of reusable, long-term surgical instruments.
How many units come in a single purchase?
Each order contains a bulk box of 12 individual needle holders, ensuring you are well-stocked for upcoming procedures.
