Halsey Smooth Perma SharpО™ Needle Holder, 13 cm

The Halsey Smooth Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 13 cm is a specialized surgical needle holder designed for secure needle manipulation during suturing and soft-tissue closure. Its Halsey pattern provides a compact, precision-oriented configuration, while the smooth Perma Sharp™ jaws are designed to support controlled needle handling without unnecessary surface interference. Needle holders play an essential role in surgical closure by allowing the surgeon to grasp, position, rotate, and guide a suture needle through tissue. The 13 cm Halsey Smooth Needle Holder provides a practical combination of compact reach and fine control, making it suitable for procedures where accurate needle positioning and maneuverability are important. The Halsey pattern is commonly associated with a smaller, delicate needle-holder configuration. Its compact design can be advantageous when working in relatively confined surgical fields or when precise hand movements are required. The smooth jaw surfaces are intended to provide controlled needle engagement while minimizing unnecessary interaction with the needle surface. The Perma Sharp™ jaw configuration is designed for precision needle handling and consistent gripping performance when the instrument is properly maintained. A dependable jaw surface can help the clinician maintain control as the needle is advanced through tissue. Correct needle placement within the jaws remains important for safe and effective instrument use. With an overall length of 13 cm , this Halsey needle holder offers a balance of accessibility and maneuverability. It can be incorporated into appropriate general surgery, plastic surgery, dermatologic surgery, oral and maxillofacial procedures, and other soft-tissue applications where a compact needle holder is suitable. The exact clinical application should be selected according to the surgical field, needle dimensions, suture material, and professional judgment. The instrument should be used specifically for needle manipulation and suturing. It should not be substituted for tissue forceps or hemostatic clamps, as inappropriate use can damage the smooth precision jaws or compromise instrument alignment. Excessive force should also be avoided to protect both the instrument and the suture needle. Before each procedure, the Halsey Smooth Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder should be inspected for proper jaw alignment, smooth closure, hinge function, corrosion, surface damage, and other abnormalities. The jaws should engage the needle appropriately without excessive play. Any instrument with compromised function should be removed from clinical service. If supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, the needle holder should be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between patients. Blood, tissue, and other biological contaminants should be removed promptly after use. Reprocessing should follow validated manufacturer instructions and established surgical infection-control procedures. Special attention should be given to the box lock, hinge, and jaw surfaces during cleaning. Moving components should be maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Proper storage in a surgical instrument tray can protect the smooth jaws from contact with heavier instruments and help maintain alignment. The Halsey Smooth Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 13 cm complements surgical scissors, tissue forceps, retractors, hemostatic instruments, and other suturing instruments. Its compact profile makes it a useful addition to procedure-specific surgical instrument sets where controlled needle manipulation is required. For surgeons, hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, specialty clinics, and professional medical instrument suppliers, the Halsey Smooth Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 13 cm provides a precision-focused solution for surgical suturing. Its smooth Perma Sharp™ jaws, compact 13 cm length, and Halsey configuration support controlled and efficient needle handling.
