Description

The Sklar Tungsten Carbide Bozeman Needle Holder is commonly used for suturing in gynecological procedures. The shanks of this instrument are slightly curved and therefore provide greater visibility when used in the uterine cavity. Cross-serrated tips and a ratchet mechanism securely hold needles in place. TC instruments are designed to stay sharp for a significantly longer period of time than other standard instruments. Sklar permanently bonds tungsten carbide inserts to the instrument, which maximizes control and precision. This product features an "S" curve (slightly curved shanks with jaws slightly curved opposite direction) with cross-serrated tips and a length of 10-1/2 inches. TC instruments are identified by gold handles.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tungsten carbide ensure long-lasting precision?

Yes, the permanently bonded Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts are specifically designed to retain sharpness significantly longer than standard stainless steel instruments, ensuring consistent precision and control over the life of the tool.

Is the 'S' curve design helpful for visibility?

Absolutely. The instrument features a double or ‘S’ curved geometry, where the shanks and jaws curve in opposite directions. This specialized shape is engineered to provide surgeons with superior visibility when operating within the confined space of the uterine cavity.

How securely does it hold needles?

Needle retention is maximized through two key features:

  • Cross-serrated tips: Designed for a non-slip grip on surgical needles.
  • Integrated ratchet mechanism: Allows you to lock the instrument firmly in place once the needle is secured.
Are the gold handles just for style?

No, the dual gold-colored finger rings are a functional indicator used by Sklar to identify that the instrument contains Tungsten Carbide inserts, distinguishing it as a higher-performance tool compared to standard stainless steel models.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the Sklar TC Bozeman-Heaney Needle Holder is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments requiring latex-free equipment.

What quality standard does this instrument meet?

This product is manufactured to the Sklar Premium Grade standard. This classification reflects its high-quality construction and long-term durability, further supported by the manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty.

Does this tool meet TAA procurement requirements?

Yes, this instrument is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government or institutional procurement programs that require products to meet specific Trade Agreements Act standards.

Is this a reusable surgical instrument?

Yes, this is a reusable instrument built from high-grade stainless steel, designed to withstand the rigors of repeated surgical use and professional reprocessing cycles.

Does the instrument arrive ready for the operating room?

The instrument is delivered non-sterile. Standard protocol requires that it be cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s established procedures for surgical instruments before its first use.

Is the length suitable for gynecological procedures?

With a length of 10-1/2 inches, this instrument provides the optimal reach and leverage required for delicate suturing tasks within gynecological applications, balancing instrument size with the necessary control for precision work.
