Frequently asked questions
Are the smooth jaws better for delicate needles?

Does the ratchet mechanism provide secure control?
Yes, it features a ratchet mechanism integrated into the handle. This allows for reliable locking and precise control when grasping needles, ensuring the instrument stays securely in place during suturing tasks.
