Surgical Needle Holder 30.0 cm (12)

Controlled Needle Handling for Limited-Access Surgical Work

The 11 3/4" VATS Needle Holder 5mm Shaft Jaws is a surgical instrument designed to grasp and control needles during suturing, particularly where access is limited. Its 11 3/4" length supports reach into the operative field, while the 5mm shaft is suited to VATS-oriented instrument handling and visualization. The needle holder format provides a focused way to position, advance, and retrieve suturing needles without changing instruments repeatedly. It can support practical workflows in both cardiovascular and general surgery, where controlled needle manipulation and dependable access are important during open or minimally invasive procedures.

• Grasping and positioning suturing needles during VATS-oriented procedures.
• Supporting needle passage and retrieval when working through limited access points.
• Handling suturing tasks in cardiovascular surgical workflows where extended reach is useful.
