Sklar Adson Needle Holder, Fenestrated Jaw
A 7-1/4 inch needle holder with one fenestrated, serrated jaw for a firm and stable grip on suture needles. It is reused across procedures after cleaning and sterilisation.
The Sklar Adson Needle Holder is a 7-1/4 inch instrument used to grasp and drive suture needles during wound closure and other suturing tasks. One jaw is fenestrated, meaning it has an open window cut into the serrated surface, which is a design feature associated with reduced suture damage and improved grip stability compared with a fully solid jaw.
The ratcheted handle locks the jaws around the needle so the surgeon can control needle angle precisely through each pass. This length and jaw style suit general surgery, minor procedures and closures where moderate needle sizes are typical. It is a single fixed configuration rather than a size range, making it easy to stock as a standard tray item.
Needle holders of this pattern are used repeatedly across almost every surgical case involving sutured closure, so most operating rooms and procedure suites keep several in circulation to support turnover between cases.
