The Mathieu Kocher Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 14 cm (5.5″) is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation of surgical needles during suturing, tissue approximation, and wound closure. Combining the established Mathieu pattern with a Kocher-style configuration, this needle holder is intended to provide dependable handling and secure control throughout the suturing process. Its 14 cm (5.5″) overall length offers a practical balance between maneuverability and working reach. Needle holders are essential instruments for maintaining control of a surgical needle during loading, positioning, tissue penetration, and release. The Mathieu Kocher pattern is designed to support controlled hand movements and consistent needle handling, helping surgical professionals position the needle accurately according to the requirements of the procedure. This makes the instrument useful for routine and precision-oriented suturing applications. The Perma Sharp™ working jaws are designed to provide reliable engagement of the surgical needle. Secure contact between the jaws and needle is important for maintaining needle orientation during passage through tissue. The precision working surfaces can support controlled needle rotation and positioning while helping facilitate accurate suture placement and tissue approximation. With a 14 cm (5.5″) length , this Mathieu Kocher needle holder provides a compact working profile suitable for procedures where close access and responsive handling are required. Its manageable size allows the instrument to be controlled comfortably during repeated suturing movements while providing sufficient reach for many superficial and moderately confined operative fields. The instrument may be incorporated into surgical sets for general surgery, soft-tissue procedures, wound closure, plastic and reconstructive surgery, dental and periodontal procedures, gynecological surgery, and other applications involving surgical suturing . The appropriate needle holder should always be selected according to the surgical technique, needle size and type, suture material, tissue characteristics, and operative-site accessibility. The Mathieu-style configuration can support efficient handling during repetitive suturing. Its design allows the user to maintain consistent control while advancing and positioning the needle, which may help streamline tissue closure. The Kocher pattern further contributes to a secure working configuration for procedures requiring dependable needle manipulation. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel , the instrument is designed for durability, mechanical strength, and resistance to corrosion when properly maintained. Stainless steel construction makes it suitable for repeated professional use and routine reprocessing when the instrument is handled according to validated cleaning, inspection, and sterilization procedures. After each procedure, the Mathieu Kocher needle holder should be cleaned promptly according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-reprocessing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the jaws, hinge, and other functional areas where biological material can accumulate. Thorough rinsing and drying should follow cleaning before the instrument is inspected for proper 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. Regular inspection and proper maintenance help preserve the precision of the working jaws and mechanical components, supporting reliable performance over the instrument’s service life.
