Description

Sklar's TC Left-Handed Crile-Wood Needle Holder is a instrument specially designed for left-handed users to hold and guide small to medium size needles and suture materials. The Crile-Wood Needle Holder has a gently tapered, blunt tip and is generally more delicate than the Mayo-Hegar but slightly less delicate than Webster, Halsey, or DeBakey needle holders. The ratcheted finger ring handle aids in securing needles for both continuous and interrupted closures. Tungsten Carbide 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 is straight with cross-serrated tips, narrow jaws, and an overall length of 6 inches.
