Sklar Econo Crile-Wood Needle Holder, Serrated
A disposable needle holder with fine, tapered serrated jaws, used to grip and control suture needles during general and delicate surgical closure. Supplied disposable for single use and packed 12 to a unit for routine clinic and hospital stock.
The Econo Crile-Wood needle holder from Sklar is a disposable ring-handled instrument that combines the fine, tapered jaw of a Crile-Wood pattern with a serrated gripping surface for secure control of suture needles. The tapered jaw profile gives good visibility of the needle during placement, which is useful in confined surgical fields, while the serrated teeth prevent the needle from rotating or slipping as it passes through tissue.
At six inches, the holder suits general surgical suturing across a range of procedure types where a balance of precision and grip strength is needed. Supplied disposable, the holder arrives with sharp, correctly aligned jaw serrations for every use and is discarded afterward, avoiding the wear that a reusable needle holder accumulates after repeated sterilisation and use.
General surgery, gynaecology, and outpatient procedure settings commonly stock this pattern as a standard suturing instrument. Packed twelve to a box, it is a routine, frequently used item for surgical departments closing wounds on a daily basis, and its low unit cost as a disposable makes it practical to keep well stocked.
