Description

Sklar's TC Ryder micro needle holder is a ratcheted, finger ring instrument that features narrow jaws and is commonly used with very small suture needles in cardiovascular, plastic, and neurosurgical procedures. Tungsten carbide micro cross-serrated tips firmly grip the small needle and assist with keeping it from twisting during suturing and are identified by gold handles. The Ryder is available in different lengths, serrated or smooth tip. The Ryder's finger ring profile distinguishes it from others in this product class.

  • Cardiovascular surgery
  • Plastic surgery
  • Neurosurgery
Does this tool arrive sterile for immediate use?

No, this instrument is delivered non-sterile. It must be processed and sterilized according to your facility’s protocols before use in a surgical setting.

What makes the handle design effective?

The Ryder-style design utilizes a ratcheted, dual-ring handle. This configuration is designed to:

  • Enhance tactile feedback.
  • Provide superior control over suture needles.
Is this safe to use on patients with latex allergies?

Why choose the Ryder series over other needle holders?

The Ryder series is specifically defined by its narrow jaw profile and unique finger ring geometry. It is ideal for surgeons who require high-precision needle control rather than the bulkier jaws found on general-purpose holders.

What is the benefit of the tungsten carbide inserts?

Tungsten carbide is significantly harder than standard surgical steel. Using it for the jaw inserts ensures:

  • Increased hardness and wear resistance.
  • Maintained gripping integrity over a longer lifespan.
