Crile Wood Grooved Needle Holder, 15 cm

The Crile Wood Grooved Needle Holder, 15 cm is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled needle manipulation during suturing, tissue approximation, and wound closure. Its Crile Wood pattern provides a practical configuration for surgical needle handling, while the grooved working jaws are designed to improve needle engagement and control. With an overall length of 15 cm , the instrument offers a versatile working profile suitable for a range of surgical applications. A needle holder is an essential component of a surgical instrument set because it enables the surgeon to securely grasp and manipulate a needle during tissue closure. The Crile Wood Grooved Needle Holder is designed to support the complete suturing process, including needle loading, positioning, passage through tissue, and controlled release. Reliable needle control can help maintain the desired needle trajectory and support accurate suture placement. The grooved jaws provide a structured contact surface for engaging the surgical needle. This configuration is intended to support stable needle positioning while allowing controlled manipulation during suturing. The grooved working surfaces can help maintain contact with the needle as it is rotated or advanced through tissue according to the surgeon’s technique. The 15 cm overall length provides a useful balance between close operative-field access and working reach. It is long enough to provide practical access for many general surgical procedures while remaining maneuverable for controlled suturing. This makes it a versatile choice for procedures involving superficial and moderately accessible tissue planes. The Crile Wood pattern is widely used for surgical needle handling and can be incorporated into instrument sets for general surgery, soft-tissue procedures, wound closure, plastic and reconstructive surgery, gynecological surgery, dental procedures, and other suturing applications . The appropriate needle holder should be selected based on the needle size and configuration, suture material, tissue characteristics, operative site, and surgical technique. The grooved design can be particularly useful when secure needle positioning is required throughout repeated suturing movements. Consistent engagement helps the surgeon maintain control over needle orientation while performing interrupted, continuous, or other closure techniques. This can contribute to efficient tissue approximation and controlled wound closure. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel , the Crile Wood Grooved Needle Holder is designed for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion when properly maintained. Its durable construction supports repeated professional use and routine reprocessing according to validated healthcare protocols. After use, the instrument should be cleaned promptly following the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-reprocessing procedure. Particular attention should be given to the grooves, jaws, hinge, and other functional areas where biological material may accumulate. Thorough cleaning helps preserve the working surfaces and mechanical function of the instrument. After cleaning, the needle holder should be thoroughly rinsed and dried before inspection. Routine inspection should verify proper jaw alignment, smooth opening and closing, secure needle engagement, and the absence of visible damage, corrosion, or excessive wear. Any instrument that does not perform correctly should be evaluated according to institutional maintenance procedures. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method appropriate for reusable surgical instruments and consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions. Proper cleaning, drying, inspection, sterilization, and storage help preserve instrument performance and extend its service life.
