Frequently asked questions
Does this needle holder provide a secure, locked grip?
Yes, it features a ratcheted finger ring handle. This locking mechanism ensures that the needle is held firmly in place during both continuous and interrupted suturing techniques, providing reliable control throughout your closure procedures.
Is the material quality suitable for long-term clinical use?
Absolutely. This instrument is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, designed specifically to be a reusable and durable tool in professional medical environments.
How does the grip quality compare to other needle holders?
The jaws are engineered with cross-serrated tips and a center notch. This specialized design significantly enhances needle purchase and stability compared to standard smooth-jawed holders, ensuring the needle shank does not slip during use.
Is this instrument compatible with standard tracking systems?
Yes, this specific model is CensiTrac marked, allowing it to be easily identified and tracked within inventory or instrument management systems that utilize this technology.
Is this tool safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, the Sklar Crile-Wood Needle Holder is guaranteed to be not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring safety for both staff and patients with latex sensitivities.
Where does this needle holder sit in terms of instrument delicacy?
The Crile-Wood design is perfectly balanced: it offers more precision and delicacy than a heavy-duty Mayo-Hegar holder, but provides a more robust grip than specialized delicate holders like the Webster or Halsey.

The 7-inch length and straight profile make it ideal for the secure grasping and guiding of small to medium-sized needles and suture materials during various surgical closure procedures.
Is this product compliant with trade and manufacturing regulations?
