Sklar Arruga Needle Holder, Straight Serrated
A straight, serrated needle holder built for ophthalmic microsurgery, giving the surgeon a firm, controlled grip on fine suture needles. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Arruga Needle Holder is a fine surgical instrument used to grasp and control small suture needles during ophthalmic and other microsurgical procedures. This straight, serrated version measures 6-1/4 inches overall, a length chosen to give the surgeon comfortable reach and control without the bulk of general surgical needle holders.
The serrated jaws grip the needle firmly to prevent slipping as fine sutures are placed, which is essential when working with delicate ocular tissue where excess movement can cause damage. A curved pattern of the same instrument is also produced, giving surgeons the option to match the holder's approach angle to the surgical site.
Instruments of this size and precision are used almost exclusively by ophthalmic surgeons, plastic surgeons, and other specialists performing fine suturing under magnification. As with other precision instruments, careful handling and inspection of the jaw serrations between uses helps preserve the secure grip that fine suturing depends on.
It is supplied for reuse after standard hospital sterilization.
