Frequently asked questions
Does the pen-style handle provide better surgical control?
Yes, the semi-cylindrical, pen-type handle is specifically engineered for microsurgical precision. It features texturized grips that offer superior tactile feedback and comfort, which is essential for maintaining dexterity during long or highly intricate procedures.
Can this handle delicate needles without slipping?
The instrument is designed with a reliable catch mechanism (ratchet). This allows the surgeon to lock the needle firmly in place, ensuring a secure grip without requiring continuous manual pressure on the handles.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. The Sklar Reill Micro-Needle Holder is guaranteed to be not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments involving patients or staff with latex sensitivities.
Is this needle holder built to last through repeated use?

Does this tool meet federal procurement standards?
Yes, the Sklar Reill Micro-Needle Holder is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets the necessary standards for government and institutional procurement.
Is the working edge suitable for fine suturing?
The working edge is smooth, which is specifically designed to manipulate extremely fine suture needles with precision and minimal trauma to the needle itself during microsurgical procedures.
Does it come ready to use out of the box?
This instrument is delivered non-sterile. You will need to perform your facility’s standard sterilization protocols before using it in a surgical procedure.

This specific model (SKL-20-1552) has an overall length of 6 inches, providing an ideal balance between reach and the fine control needed for microsurgery.
