LightTouch Needle Holder, 7″, With Lock, Titanium

LightTouch Needle Holder, 7″, With Lock, Titanium is a specialized microsurgical instrument used for grasping and manipulating fine surgical needles during procedures requiring meticulous suturing techniques. Designed for precise needle control and atraumatic tissue handling, this instrument enables surgeons to perform accurate suture placement within delicate anatomical structures and confined operative fields. The instrument features finely crafted jaws engineered to provide secure needle engagement and precise alignment during suturing. The refined jaw profile ensures dependable needle retention while minimizing the risk of slippage during delicate procedures. An integrated locking mechanism maintains consistent needle retention without continuous hand pressure, enhancing stability and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged microsurgical procedures. With an overall length of 7 inches (17.8 cm) , the instrument offers an optimal balance between reach and maneuverability, providing excellent control and tactile feedback during fine suturing tasks. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium, the LightTouch Needle Holder is significantly lighter than conventional stainless steel alternatives, reducing hand fatigue and improving instrument handling during lengthy procedures. Titanium construction also offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and compatibility with advanced imaging environments. The ergonomic handle design ensures balanced control and smooth operation, while the satin or matte low-glare finish minimizes reflections under surgical lighting and microscope illumination. Widely used in hospitals, microsurgical centers, and specialty clinics, this instrument is an essential component of neurosurgical, vascular, ophthalmic, plastic, and reconstructive surgical instrument sets. Fully reusable and autoclavable, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining jaw alignment, locking performance, and structural integrity. Common Clinical Applications Include: Neurosurgery Vascular Surgery Microvascular Anastomosis Ophthalmic Surgery Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Microsurgical Procedures Fine Suture Placement Delicate Tissue Approximation Microsurgical Repair Surgical Field Precision Specifications Feature Details Product Name LightTouch Needle Holder, 7″, With Lock, Titanium Instrument Type Microsurgical Needle Holder Function Needle Grasping and Microsurgical Suturing Locking Mechanism Integrated Lock Overall Length 7 in (17.8 cm) Handle Design Ergonomic Microsurgical Handle Material Surgical-Grade Titanium Finish Satin or Matte Low-Glare Finish Sterilization Fully Sterilizable and Autoclavable Reusability Reusable Application Neurosurgical, Vascular, Ophthalmic, Plastic, and Microsurgical Procedures Frequently Asked Questions What is a LightTouch Needle Holder used for?
