Cardiac Surgery Needle Holder – 7mm Shaft Straight Jaws Gold Ring | Ratchet Handle

The Cardiac Surgery Needle Holder – 7mm Shaft, Straight Jaws, Gold Ring | Ratchet Handle is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled handling of surgical needles during cardiac, cardiovascular, and other delicate surgical procedures . The instrument features a 7mm shaft that provides a slim working profile while maintaining rigidity and control. The straight jaw configuration allows the needle to be positioned and manipulated in a direct orientation, which can be useful when precise needle placement is required. The straight jaws are designed to securely hold compatible surgical needles during suturing. Proper jaw alignment helps maintain consistent needle control and reduces unwanted movement during needle placement. A ratchet handle provides a locking mechanism that allows the surgeon to maintain a controlled grip on the needle without continuously applying full hand pressure. The locking position can be adjusted according to the specific surgical requirement. The instrument features gold-colored finger rings , which provide a distinctive finish and can help differentiate the instrument from other instruments within a surgical set. The gold finish is commonly associated with tungsten-carbide jaw configurations on some surgical needle holders, but the exact jaw material should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s specification. Cardiac needle holders are used for handling surgical needles during procedures requiring precise suturing. Depending on the exact configuration, they may be suitable for cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, cardiovascular procedures, thoracic surgery, and other delicate surgical applications . The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing durability and corrosion resistance. Precision manufacturing is important for maintaining jaw alignment and reliable ratchet function. Before use, inspect the jaws for alignment and wear and verify that the ratchet opens and locks smoothly. The instrument should be cleaned, sterilized, inspected, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s validated reprocessing instructions when supplied as a reusable model.
