Surgi-OR Baumgartner Needle Holder, Heavy Serrated
A 5-1/4 inch straight Baumgartner needle holder from Surgi-OR with heavy serrated jaws, used to grip suturing needles securely during surgery in hospitals and clinics.
The Surgi-OR Baumgartner Needle Holder is a straight 5-1/4 inch instrument with heavy serrated jaws, following the Baumgartner pattern recognised for its spring action handle rather than a ratcheted lock, which some surgeons prefer for the smoother, faster release it offers during rapid, repeated suturing.
The heavy serrated jaw provides a strong, secure grip on the needle to prevent rotation or slippage as the surgeon drives it through tissue, particularly valuable during procedures involving many quick sutures such as skin closure. Surgi-OR is a Sklar supplied line offering an alternative sourcing option for this widely used needle holder pattern, giving procurement teams flexibility while keeping the familiar Baumgartner design available for their surgical trays.
Manufactured for repeated clinical use, the needle holder must be cleaned, inspected and sterilised between cases following standard reprocessing protocol, with periodic checks recommended on the spring mechanism to ensure reliable function over time. General and plastic surgery units across the UAE and GCC commonly stock this Baumgartner needle holder alongside other suturing instruments in their theatre trays.
