Description

Sklar TC Heaney Needle Holders are used for light to medium weight suturing, most commonly in gynecological procedures such as vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy, and dilation and curettage. The slightly curved shanks and tips provide the user a better view when suturing intravaginally, and the cross-serrations provide a secure hold on the needle. Sklar permanently bonds tungsten carbide inserts to the instrument, which maximizes control and precision. This product has an overall length of 8-1/4 inches.

Frequently asked questions

Does this needle holder provide superior needle control?

Yes, this instrument features permanently bonded Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts. These inserts are specifically engineered by Sklar to maximize control and precision, ensuring that the needle remains stable and secure during delicate suturing tasks.

Is this design optimized for gynecological procedures?

Absolutely. The Heaney style is specifically designed for gynecological surgeries. It features a slightly curved shank and tip, which provides surgeons with a significantly improved visual field when operating in confined spaces like the intravaginal area.

How reliable is the grip on the suture needle?

You can expect a highly secure hold. The working edges of the jaws are cross-serrated, a design choice specifically implemented to maximize friction and ensure the needle stays firmly in place without slipping.

Is the material used durable for long-term clinical use?

Yes, this is a Sklar Premium grade instrument. It is constructed from high-quality stainless steel and built for professional environments. Because it is a reusable instrument designed for surgical trays, it is manufactured to withstand the rigors of standard reprocessing cycles.

Does the instrument feature a locking mechanism?

Yes, it includes a built-in ratchet mechanism located near the finger rings. This allows you to lock the needle holder securely in place once the desired tension is achieved, freeing up your hand while maintaining a firm grip.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for use in surgical settings where latex-free materials are required.

What is the benefit of the CensiTrac marking?

The CensiTrac marking is a feature included to support efficient instrument tracking and inventory management within a facility’s sterile processing workflow, helping to ensure accountability and maintenance of high-quality standards.

Are the finger rings designed for comfort?

The instrument features ergonomic dual finger rings that are finished in gold, which not only aids in identifying the tungsten carbide inserts quickly but also fits standard surgical handle requirements for a balanced, controlled grip.
