Absolutely. This needle holder is 100% latex-free, ensuring it is safe to use in environments where latex sensitivities are a concern for staff or patients.
How durable is the construction of this needle holder?
This is a Sklar Premium Grade instrument. It is built from high-grade stainless steel and designed for repeated, demanding use in clinical environments. Because it is backed by a lifetime warranty, you can rely on its durability for the long term.
Is this instrument suitable for government medical procurement?
Yes, this product is TAA compliant. It meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for US government and institutional procurement programs.
How should this instrument be handled before use?
The product is supplied non-sterile. As with all high-grade surgical instruments, it must undergo appropriate sterilization and reprocessing protocols according to your facility’s guidelines before its first use and between procedures.
Is this a reusable surgical instrument?
Yes, this is a reusable instrument. It is specifically engineered to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles without degrading, maintaining its precision performance over time.
Are the jaws of this instrument serrated?
Yes, the jaws are serrated and reinforced with tungsten carbide inserts. This combination ensures a fine, secure grasp on needles, allowing for better control and precision during suturing.
What is the primary benefit of the tungsten carbide material?
Tungsten carbide is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. By integrating these inserts into the jaws, the instrument offers:
- Enhanced Grip: Superior holding strength on needles.
- Extended Lifespan: Better resistance to wear and tear compared to standard all-steel instruments.

This model measures 6-3/4 inches in length, which is a versatile size favored for many standard suturing tasks. It features a straight configuration, making it a reliable, classic choice for general surgical applications.
