Sklar Halsey Needle Holder, Cross-Serrated, 5 Inch

The Sklar Halsey / Webster Needle Holder is a 5 inch instrument with a cross-serrated jaw, a compact needle holder pattern widely used across general and plastic surgery for fine to moderate suturing work. The cross-serrated jaw surface holds the needle securely while it is driven through tissue, reducing rotation or slippage during repeated suture passes, and the shorter 5 inch length suits procedures where fine control and a lighter instrument are preferred over the reach a longer needle holder provides.

This pattern is offered by Sklar in both a serrated and a smooth jaw version at the same 5 inch length, giving surgeons the option to match jaw texture to the needle type and suturing technique being used. Surgeons and surgical assistants use needle holders like this throughout skin closure and other suturing tasks in general, plastic and outpatient minor procedures, and the instrument is intended for repeated sterilized use as standard surgical equipment.
