Frequently asked questions
Does this needle holder provide superior grip?
Yes, this instrument is engineered for maximum precision. It features permanently bonded tungsten carbide inserts in the jaw tips, which are cross-serrated to provide exceptional frictional grip and enhanced procedural control when handling needles.
Is this instrument durable enough for long-term use?
Absolutely. This is a factory-new, reusable surgical instrument constructed from high-quality stainless steel. It is designed for longevity in professional surgical environments and is backed by a lifetime warranty, reflecting the durability of the Sklar premium grade.
How does this model compare to other needle holders?
This needle holder strikes an ideal balance in design. Its delicacy is positioned between the heft of a Mayo-Hegar holder and the finer precision of a DeBakey holder, making it highly versatile for small to medium-sized needles.
Can I use this for both interrupted and continuous closures?
Yes, it is designed for both techniques. The instrument is equipped with a ratcheted dual gold finger ring handle, allowing for reliable, secure needle retention throughout either continuous or interrupted suturing procedures.
What does the CensiTrac marking signify?
The CensiTrac marking indicates that the instrument meets specific manufacturing compliance standards. This ensures that the product is traceable and adheres to the quality benchmarks required for institutional surgical settings.
Is the material safe for patients with sensitivities?
Yes, this instrument is latex-free. It is not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring it is a safe choice for use in surgical environments where latex allergies must be avoided.
Is this needle holder TAA compliant?

How should I handle the instrument before use?
This instrument is supplied non-sterile. Like all high-quality surgical tools, it must undergo appropriate sterilization processes in accordance with your facility’s protocols before being used in any procedure.
Why are the finger rings gold-finished?
The dual gold finger rings are more than just an aesthetic choice; they are a hallmark of Sklar’s premium tungsten carbide needle holders. This design indicates the presence of specialized, hardened inserts in the jaw, helping staff quickly identify the instrument’s enhanced capabilities.
Are the jaws suitable for delicate surgical work?
