Sklar Gillies Needle Holder, 6 Inch
A 6 inch Sklar Gillies needle holder, combining needle holding and cutting function, used by surgeons during suturing in plastic surgery procedures.
The Sklar Gillies Needle Holder is a 6 inch instrument from the Gillies family of plastic surgery tools, built to hold a suturing needle securely while also serving a cutting function so the surgeon can place and trim sutures with fewer instrument changes. This combined design is valued in plastic and reconstructive surgery, where efficient, precise suturing across many small stitches is common and reducing the number of instrument exchanges during a procedure helps maintain a steady surgical pace.
The compact 6 inch length suits fine facial, hand and other reconstructive work where a large needle holder would be cumbersome. Plastic surgeons and surgical assistants use instruments like this throughout skin closure, and it is generally packed as part of a plastic surgery specific instrument set alongside Gillies forceps and other fine tissue instruments.
This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for this pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel for repeated sterilized use.
