Description

Sklar's Jacobson Tungsten Carbide Microvascular Needle Holder is primarily used for suturing in microvascular and cardiovascular procedures. It may also be known as a Jacobson-Castroviejo Needle Holder. The finely cross-serrated, tapered jaws are able to securely hold very fine sutures. Serrations on TC instruments are designed to stay sharp for a significantly longer period of time than standard instruments. Sklar also permanently bonds tungsten carbide inserts to the instrument, which maximizes control and precision. This product is curved with micro-profile, cross-serrated jaws and an overall length of 7 inches. It also features a locking mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tungsten carbide improve grip?

Yes, the permanently bonded tungsten carbide inserts are a critical feature. These inserts significantly enhance durability and provide superior control when handling the fine sutures required for microvascular and cardiovascular procedures.

Is this tool suitable for delicate micro-sutures?

Absolutely. The Jacobson Needle Holder is specifically engineered with micro-profile, cross-serrated, tapered jaws. This design ensures a secure and precise grip on the very fine suture materials used in complex cardiovascular work.

Is the stainless steel high-quality?

Yes, this instrument is manufactured to Sklar Premium grade standards. This ensures long-term reliability and performance in professional surgical environments.

Can this be used for multiple surgical procedures?

Yes, this is a reusable instrument. It is built for longevity, ensuring it maintains its precision through repeated use provided it is properly cleaned and sterilized between procedures.

Is the locking mechanism secure?

The instrument includes an integrated locking mechanism located near the pivot point. This allows the surgeon to securely lock the holder in place, ensuring constant pressure on the needle during delicate suturing tasks.

Are there any natural rubber latex materials used?

No. The Sklar TC Jacobson Needle Holder is guaranteed to be not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical staff and patients with latex sensitivities.

Does it comply with TAA requirements?

Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meeting the necessary standards for government and institutional procurement.

Is the curvature helpful for cardiovascular access?

The curved profile is specifically designed to aid in navigation and access within tight surgical fields, such as those encountered in cardiovascular and microvascular procedures, offering better reach than straight instruments.

How do I maintain the instrument's longevity?

Because this is a reusable, premium-grade surgical tool, it is recommended that you follow standard hospital protocols for cleaning and sterilization to preserve the integrity of the tungsten carbide inserts and the locking mechanism.

Is this needle holder heavy for precision work?

No, it is extremely lightweight, weighing only 0.01 pounds. This low weight minimizes hand fatigue, allowing for greater comfort and stability during high-precision microsurgical operations.
