Stainless Steel Micro Needle Holder Curved Without Lock 115mm Long

Intended Use/Discipline : General Surgery, Ophthalmology Instrument : Micro Needle Holder Stainless Steel Micro Needle holder curved without lock 115mm Long Micro Needle Holder, Curved, Without Lock, 115mm Long General Overview: This is a high-precision, handheld surgical instrument designed for delicate procedures requiring exceptional control and fine manipulation of very small suture needles. Its 115mm length and non-locking design make it ideal for microsurgery, ophthalmic surgery, pediatric surgery, and plastic surgery where minimal tissue handling and precise suture placement are critical. Detailed Specifications & Features: 1. Dimensions and General Design: Overall Length: 115 mm (4.5 inches). This short length provides excellent balance and maneuverability in confined surgical fields. Jaw Type: Curved. The finely curved jaws allow the surgeon to rotate the wrist comfortably, facilitating easy needle passage through tissue with a smooth, arc-like motion. Locking Mechanism: None (Non-Locking). The absence of a ratchet lock allows for rapid, fluid opening and closing of the jaws without the interruption of engaging or disengaging a lock. This is crucial for maintaining rhythm and efficiency in microsuturing. 2. Jaws and Tips: Tip Design: Ultra-fine, precision-ground tips that meet perfectly to securely grip the smallest needles (e.g., 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm) without slipping. Gripping Surface: The inner surfaces of the jaws feature a specialized micro-serrated pattern or tungsten carbide inserts (TC). Micro-serrated: Provides a firm, non-slip grip on fine needles without causing damage. Tungsten Carbide (TC) Inserts: Gold-colored, ultra-hard inserts that offer superior durability and an exceptionally secure grip, significantly reducing hand fatigue during repetitive suturing. TC inserts are highly resistant to wear. 3. Handles and Ergonomics: Design: Typically features lightweight, round handles with a spring-action that automatically re-opens the instrument after compression, reducing strain on the surgeon's hand. Finger Rings: Small, delicate finger rings designed for a precision grip, often using a thumb-forefinger (pen-hold) grip rather than a full palm grip. Finish: Usually made of high-grade, corrosion-resistant German or Swiss stainless steel. It may have a satin (matte) finish to reduce glare under bright operating lights. 4. Primary Applications: This instrument is indispensable in any surgical discipline that demands extreme precision: Ophthalmic Surgery: Cataract, corneal, and retinal procedures. Microvascular & Neurosurgery: Anastomosis of small blood vessels and nerve repair. Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Fine skin closure, facial surgery, and flap repairs. Pediatric Surgery: Suturing in very small and delicate anatomical structures. Hand Surgery: Repair of tendons and nerves. 5. Key Advantages: Superior Control: The non-locking design and short length offer unparalleled tactile feedback and instantaneous control over needle placement and tension. Reduced Tissue Trauma: The fine, smooth tips and precise grip minimize damage to delicate tissues and the suture material itself. Efficiency: Enables rapid, continuous suturing without the delay of managing a lock mechanism. Durability: Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel, it is built to withstand repeated sterilization and long-term use.

• Size: 115mm (11.5 cm) long. This compact size offers excellent control for fine work.
• Jaw Type: Curved jaws. The curve facilitates a smooth, rolling motion when passing the needle through tissue
• Jaw Surface: Fine, smooth or serrated tips, often with Tungsten Carbide inserts. The ultra-hard Tungsten Carbide provides a positive, non-slip grip on tiny needles without damaging them
• Lock Mechanism: None. This is a "plain" or "non-locking" instrument.
• Handle Design: Typically simple, straight, or slightly curved finger grips, similar to scissors, optimized for a pencil grip.
• Uninterrupted Control: Allows for continuous, fluid manipulation of the needle without the jarring action of engaging or disengaging a lock.
• Enhanced Tactile Feel: Provides superior feedback and "sense of touch" (haptic feedback), allowing the surgeon to feel the needle driving through tissue.
• Reduced Needle Damage: Eliminates the risk of the locking mechanism accidentally clamping down with excessive force and bending the delicate needle or damaging the suture.
• Faster Suturing: Enables a quicker, more rhythmic suturing technique without pausing to lock and unlock.
