Sklar Stratte Needle Holder, Curved Serrated
A 9 inch curved, serrated needle holder used to grasp and drive suturing needles securely during a range of surgical closure procedures.
The Sklar Stratte Needle Holder is used to grip and drive curved suturing needles through tissue during wound closure. Its jaws carry a serrated surface for a firm, non-slip hold on the needle body, and the curved profile suits access to surgical fields at an angle rather than straight on. At nine inches, it offers more reach than a delicate or short pattern, making it suited to general and cardiothoracic procedures where the surgical depth is greater than superficial skin closure.
This needle holder is used by surgeons and their assisting staff across general surgery operating theatres, where a dependable, mid sized needle holder is needed on most trays regardless of the specific procedure. As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between uses like the rest of a general surgery set, and hospitals typically keep several units on hand given how frequently a needle holder is called for during a single case.
