Yes, this instrument is part of the Surgi-OR mid-grade line, constructed from high-quality stainless steel to ensure the durability and reliability required for professional use in operating rooms and surgery centers.
Does the ratchet mechanism hold its position well?

How long is this needle holder?
This model has an overall length of 8 inches, providing a balance between control for finer work and the necessary reach for deeper access or larger suturing applications.
What kind of maintenance does this steel instrument need?
Being a high-quality stainless steel instrument, it is designed for longevity. To maintain its precision, ensure you follow standard surgical instrument cleaning, lubrication, and sterilization guidelines after each use to prevent corrosion and maintain the integrity of the serrated jaws.
