- An 8-inch, German-engineered surgical instrument designed for grasping and guiding needles during delicate suturing, featuring durable tungsten carbide jaws with precision-milled serrations, providing a secure, non-slip grip, making it ideal for cardiovascular, thoracic, and general surgical procedures
Uses
- Suturing:
- Primarily used to firmly hold and guide needles during surgical wound closure
- Specialties:
- Suitable for cardiovascular, thoracic, and general surgery applications
- Precision Grip:
- Ideal for handling fine needles due to its gently tapered, fine tip, which is similar to a Mayo-Hegar but more delicate
Features
- Tungsten Carbide Jaws (Carb-N-Sert):
- The jaws are inlaid with tungsten carbide, the hardest steel available, bonded to high-quality stainless steel for maximum durability
- Serrated Jaws:
- Milled with pyramid-shaped teeth (approx. 2600 teeth per square inch) to prevent needle rotation
- Design:
- 8-inch (20.3cm) length, straight profile with a ring handle and ratchet lock
- Non-Catch Design:
- Beveled, chamfered edges around the box lock prevent suture material from snagging or cutting
- Identification:
- Gold-plated finger rings easily identify the instrument as having tungsten carbide inserts
