Frequently asked questions
Does this tool help reduce surgeon fatigue?
Yes. This needle holder is part of the Sklarlite™ line, which uses a proprietary manufacturing process to shave microns off the instrument’s weight. This reduction in mass is specifically engineered to minimize hand fatigue during long or complex surgical procedures.
Can this hold dense suture materials securely?
Absolutely. The instrument features heavy cross-serrations on the tips, which are designed to provide a high-friction, secure grip for both larger needles and dense suture materials.
Is this made from high-grade, durable steel?
Yes, it is constructed from premium-grade stainless steel. This ensures that the instrument is durable enough for repeated, long-term clinical use while maintaining its structural integrity.
Does it have a reliable locking mechanism?
Yes, the instrument includes a traditional ratchet mechanism located near the finger rings. This allows the surgeon to lock the needle holder in place, ensuring a constant, secure grasp throughout the procedure.
Is this model compliant for facility use?
Yes, this instrument is TAA compliant, making it an excellent choice for facilities that require strict adherence to regulatory standards for medical equipment.
Is it safe for use with latex-sensitive patients?
Yes, this needle holder is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for use in environments where latex sensitivities are a concern.
Is this suitable for trunk and limb procedures?
Yes, it is specifically designed for procedures on the trunk and limbs. The 5-1/4 inch length and straight configuration offer the precise control needed for these areas.
How should this instrument be prepared for use?
This product is supplied non-sterile. Before use in any surgical environment, it must be properly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for reusable stainless steel instruments.
What is the benefit of the Sklarlite modification?
The Sklarlite™ modification reduces the overall weight of the tool without sacrificing its structural integrity. It balances the need for a lightweight feel with the high strength required to manipulate needles during surgery.
Is this designed for long-term reliability?
Yes. Because it is manufactured with high-quality stainless steel and backed by a lifetime warranty, this instrument is designed for long-term, reusable service in demanding clinical settings.
