Sklar Heaney Needle Holder, Curved, Serrated
An 8-1/4 inch curved, serrated Sklar Heaney needle holder, used by surgeons to grip and guide the needle during gynecologic and pelvic surgery.
The Sklar Heaney Needle Holder is an 8-1/4 inch instrument with a curved, serrated jaw, a pattern strongly associated with gynecologic and pelvic surgery where deep, angled access to the surgical field is often required. The curved jaw lets the surgeon approach the needle and tissue from a favourable angle within the pelvis, an area where a straight needle holder can be harder to manoeuvre effectively, and the serrated jaw surface grips the needle securely during repeated suture passes.
Its 8-1/4 inch length gives the reach needed for deeper pelvic procedures compared with shorter general purpose needle holders. Gynecologic, obstetric and general surgeons use needle holders like this during vaginal and abdominal pelvic surgery whenever tissue must be sutured in this specific anatomical region.
This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Heaney pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilized use.
