Collier Needle Holder, 13 cm (5″)

The Collier Needle Holder, 13 cm (5″) is a precision surgical instrument designed for secure needle grasping and controlled suture placement during a variety of surgical procedures. Its compact 13 cm (5″) length provides a practical balance between reach and maneuverability, making it suitable for procedures where close access to the operative field and accurate needle manipulation are important. A surgical needle holder is an essential instrument for maintaining control of the needle during suturing. The Collier Needle Holder is designed to allow the surgeon to grasp, position, guide, and release the needle with controlled movements. This can help maintain the desired needle trajectory and facilitate accurate tissue approximation during wound closure and other suturing procedures. The compact profile of the 13 cm (5″) Collier Needle Holder is particularly useful in superficial or moderately confined surgical fields. A shorter instrument can provide close working access and responsive handling, allowing the surgeon to make precise adjustments to needle position without unnecessary instrument length. This makes the instrument a practical choice for fine suturing applications where maneuverability is important. The working jaws are designed to securely engage the surgical needle while supporting controlled manipulation. Stable needle engagement is essential during needle loading and passage through tissue, particularly when performing interrupted, continuous, or other suturing techniques. The instrument can support a range of tissue closure procedures according to the selected needle, suture material, and surgical technique. The Collier Needle Holder may be incorporated into instrument sets used for general surgery, soft-tissue procedures, wound closure, plastic and reconstructive surgery, dental and periodontal procedures, gynecological procedures, veterinary surgery, and other applications requiring controlled needle handling. Specific use should be determined by the surgeon based on the operative site, needle characteristics, tissue type, and procedural requirements. The 13 cm (5″) size makes this needle holder a useful option for surgeons who prefer a compact instrument for precision suturing. Its manageable length can facilitate direct hand control and efficient movements during repetitive needle manipulation. It can also be useful when working in areas where a longer needle holder may provide unnecessary reach or reduced maneuverability. For reusable surgical instrumentation, durable construction and proper reprocessing are important considerations. The Collier Needle Holder should be manufactured from appropriate surgical-grade material and maintained according to validated instrument-care procedures. Proper cleaning and sterilization help preserve the instrument’s working surfaces, mechanical function, and overall condition. After use, the instrument should be cleaned promptly according to the healthcare facility’s validated reprocessing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the jaws, hinge, and other functional areas where biological material may accumulate. Following cleaning, the instrument should be thoroughly rinsed and dried and inspected for correct jaw alignment, smooth operation, surface integrity, and signs of wear or damage. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method appropriate for reusable surgical instruments and consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions. Routine inspection and proper maintenance can help support dependable performance and extend the useful service life of the instrument. The Collier Needle Holder, 13 cm (5″) provides a practical solution for controlled surgical needle manipulation and precision suturing. Its compact length, maneuverable profile, and dependable needle-holding function make it a valuable addition to professional surgical instrument sets used for tissue closure and delicate suturing applications.
