Frequently asked questions
Does the S-curve design assist with delicate procedures?
Yes, the double ‘S’ curved profile is a specialized feature specifically designed to allow for precise manipulation in tight anatomical areas, making it an excellent choice for plastic and reconstructive surgery where angles are critical.
Is the gripping surface reliable for fine needles?
Absolutely. The working end features a serrated tip engineered to provide a firm, non-slip grip, ensuring that fine suturing needles remain securely held during delicate wound closure tasks.
Can this instrument withstand repeated sterilization?
Yes, this is a reusable surgical instrument constructed from high-quality stainless steel. It is specifically built to endure repeated sterilization cycles common in clinical environments.
Is the ratchet mechanism easy to control?
The instrument is designed for ergonomic control, featuring a ratchet locking mechanism situated near the finger rings. This allows surgeons to lock the needle securely in place when sustained pressure is required during a procedure.
Is this product made without latex?
Yes, the Sklar Kilner Needle Holder is latex-free and is not manufactured using natural rubber latex, making it safe for use in patients with latex sensitivities.
What is the total length of this holder?
The instrument measures exactly 5-1/4 inches in length, providing a compact and ergonomic profile optimized for fine suturing work.
Does it meet professional regulatory standards?
Yes, the instrument is fully TAA compliant, ensuring it meets the rigorous standards required for government and institutional medical procurement.
Does the instrument arrive sterile?
No, this item is supplied non-sterile. It is designed to be processed through your facility’s standard sterilization protocols before its first use.
What type of steel is used in its construction?
It is crafted from durable stainless steel, chosen for its longevity, resistance to corrosion, and suitability for high-precision medical applications.
How does this compare to straight-tip needle holders?
While straight-tip holders (like Crile or Mayo models) are useful for general tasks, the Kilner’s specialized ‘S’ curvature offers superior access and precision when navigating specific anatomical contours that straight instruments simply cannot reach.
