Sklar Carroll Needle Holder, Straight
A 6 inch straight needle holder with serrated and grooved jaws, used to grip and drive suture needles securely during a wide range of surgical procedures.
The Sklar Carroll Needle Holder is a 6 inch straight instrument designed to grip a suturing needle firmly and drive it through tissue with precision. Its jaws combine serration with a groove that helps stop the needle from twisting or slipping mid-stitch, which matters when a surgeon needs consistent needle angle across a long closure.
The straight profile suits general surgical use, from skin closure to deeper tissue approximation, and the ratcheted handle allows the jaws to be locked onto the needle so the grip does not fatigue over a lengthy case. Needle holders of this size and pattern are among the most frequently used instruments on a surgical tray, found in general surgery, gynecology, orthopedics and many other specialties wherever manual suturing is performed.
Surgeons and surgical assistants rely on a well maintained needle holder for both speed and accuracy, and this instrument, like other reusable Sklar stainless steel instruments, is designed to withstand repeated cleaning, inspection and steam sterilization between procedures.
