Frequently asked questions
Does this holder prevent needle slipping during surgery?
Yes, this instrument features Advanced Grip Technology. The jaws are coated with a diamond-like material infused with fine tungsten carbide dust, which provides an exceptionally secure and firm hold on needles, significantly minimizing the risk of slipping.
Is the titanium construction lightweight for long procedures?

Can this be used for continuous control during suturing?
Yes, this model features a round handle without a ratchet. This design choice allows for smooth, continuous, and fluid control, which is essential for the precision required in microsurgical environments.

Yes, this needle holder is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments where latex-free instruments are required.
