Olsen Hegar Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder Scissors, 17 cm

The Crile Wood Grooved Needle Holder, 15 cm is a dependable surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation of surgical needles during suturing, tissue approximation, and wound closure. Its established Crile Wood pattern provides a practical configuration for surgical needle handling, while the grooved jaw design supports secure needle engagement during precise suturing movements. With an overall length of 15 cm , this needle holder offers a versatile balance of working reach and maneuverability. During surgical closure, accurate needle control is essential for maintaining the desired needle trajectory and achieving consistent tissue approximation. The Crile Wood Grooved Needle Holder is designed to grasp the needle securely during loading, positioning, passage through tissue, and release. This controlled handling can help support efficient suturing while minimizing unnecessary needle movement. The grooved jaws provide a structured gripping surface designed to engage the surgical needle securely. The grooves can assist with maintaining needle position as the surgeon rotates or advances the needle through tissue. This is particularly useful during repetitive suturing movements where consistent needle control contributes to accurate placement and efficient closure. The 15 cm length provides a practical working profile for many surgical applications. It offers sufficient reach for accessible operative fields while remaining compact enough for responsive hand control. This makes the instrument suitable for procedures where the surgeon needs a combination of precision, reach, and comfortable maneuverability. The Crile Wood pattern can be incorporated into instrument sets for general surgery, soft-tissue procedures, wound repair, plastic and reconstructive surgery, gynecological surgery, dental procedures, and other surgical applications involving needle and suture manipulation . The instrument should be selected according to the specific surgical procedure, needle size and shape, suture material, tissue characteristics, and surgeon preference. The grooved working surface is designed to provide dependable needle engagement without replacing the need for appropriate surgical technique. Proper needle loading and positioning remain important for minimizing needle deformation and maintaining predictable suturing performance. The needle holder should be used with needles appropriate to its jaw size and intended application. For reusable professional instrumentation, durable construction and proper maintenance are essential. The Crile Wood Grooved Needle Holder should be manufactured from suitable surgical-grade material and maintained according to validated healthcare reprocessing procedures. Appropriate care helps preserve the jaws, hinge, surface finish, and overall mechanical performance. After use, the instrument should be cleaned promptly in accordance with the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-reprocessing protocol. Particular attention should be paid to the grooved jaws, hinge, and other areas where biological material may accumulate. Thorough cleaning helps prevent residue from affecting the instrument’s function. Following cleaning, the needle holder should be thoroughly rinsed and dried and inspected for proper jaw alignment, smooth opening and closing, secure needle engagement, and signs of corrosion, damage, or excessive wear. Any instrument exhibiting impaired function should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional 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 maintain the instrument’s reliability and extend its useful service life.
