Surgical Needle Holder 34.3 cm (13.5) TC (Gold Handle)

Extended Reach and Firm Needle Control for VATS Workflows

The 13 1/2" VATS Needle Holder 10mm Shaft Extra Heavy TC Jaws is a surgical needle holder designed to grasp and position needles during suturing. Its extended 13 1/2" length and 10mm shaft support access in deeper or confined operative fields, while the extra-heavy jaw configuration is suited to tasks requiring a substantial instrument profile. Tungsten carbide construction at the jaws supports consistent handling during repeated needle manipulation. The instrument can fit cardiovascular and general surgery workflows where controlled needle placement and useful reach are important, including video-assisted procedures and other technically demanding suturing tasks.

Use Cases

• Grasp and position suture needles during video-assisted thoracic surgery workflows.
• Support suturing tasks in cardiovascular procedures where extended reach is useful.
• Use the extra-heavy jaw configuration for controlled manipulation of needles during technically demanding closure tasks.
