Sklar Neivert Masing Needle Holder, Smooth
A 5 inch needle holder from Sklar with a smooth grooved jaw and offset finger ring, built for fine suturing during delicate surgical and microsurgical work.
The Sklar Neivert / Masing Needle Holder is a fine needle holder designed for delicate suturing work where a lighter, more precise grip is needed than a standard general surgery instrument provides. Its jaw carries a smooth surface with a groove rather than heavy serrations, which helps protect fine suture material and delicate needles from being damaged while still holding them securely.
The offset finger ring is shaped to sit comfortably in the hand during long stretches of close, repetitive suturing, a detail that surgeons performing plastic, ophthalmic or other fine work tend to notice over the course of a procedure. At 5 inches in length, this needle holder suits work in smaller, shallower surgical fields rather than deep body cavities.
Plastic surgery units, ophthalmic theatres and general surgical departments doing delicate closures typically stock needle holders of this type alongside their standard heavier instruments.
