Frequently asked questions
Does this needle holder provide a secure, reliable grip?
Yes, it is designed for maximum precision. It features cross-serrated tips combined with a specialized center notch, which provides an exceptionally secure purchase on small to medium-sized needles during suturing.
Is this instrument built for long-term clinical use?
Absolutely. It is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring it is robust enough for repeated sterilization and daily surgical demands. Sklar stands behind this quality with a lifetime warranty.
Is the ratchet mechanism smooth for easy operation?
Yes, the instrument includes a reliable ratchet locking mechanism on the finger ring handles. This allows you to firmly secure the needle in place, providing the stability needed for both continuous and interrupted closure techniques.
How does the Crile-Wood design compare to other holders?
The Crile-Wood design offers a delicate handling profile. It sits in the ideal middle ground—providing more finesse than the heavy-duty Mayo-Hegar holder, but with more substance than the ultra-delicate Webster, Halsey, or DeBakey models.
Can this be used for latex-sensitive procedures?

Is the material TAA compliant for government procurement?
Yes, this Sklar needle holder is fully TAA compliant, meeting the requirements for government and federally funded medical facilities.
What is the best way to maintain this surgical instrument?
Because it is crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this instrument is fully reusable. It should be cleaned and sterilized according to standard medical facility protocols for stainless steel surgical tools to maintain its longevity and performance.
Does the 7-inch length offer good control?
The 7-inch length is specifically chosen to provide an optimal balance of reach and control. This length is versatile enough for a variety of surgical orientations while maintaining the delicate precision required for small to medium needles.
Is this tool suitable for delicate suturing tasks?
Yes, the tapered, blunt tip configuration is specifically engineered for tasks requiring a balance of delicacy and control, making it highly effective for precision needle manipulation.
Does the instrument arrive sterile?
No, this instrument is supplied non-sterile. It must be processed and sterilized in accordance with your facility’s protocols before being used in a surgical setting.
