Barraquer Needle Holder Curved 12.4 cm (4.9)

Fine, Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Specialties

The Barraquer needle holder is a fine surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its 4 7/8-inch length and curved profile support controlled handling where access and visualization matter, while the 10.0 mm smooth jaws provide a focused contact area for needle manipulation. The round handle offers a familiar grasp, and the without-lock configuration allows the user to regulate handling pressure directly. This specialty-neutral design can support suturing workflows in cardiovascular, general, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery settings where precise instrument control and a streamlined handoff are important.

Use Cases

• Support controlled needle grasping and placement during cardiovascular suturing workflows.
• Assist general surgery teams with routine needle handling during closure and repair tasks.
• Provide fine, curved access for ophthalmic suturing where a compact working profile is useful.
• Support delicate needle manipulation in plastic surgery procedures requiring attentive control of suture placement.
• Use the without-lock configuration when direct, user-controlled handling is preferred during repeated needle exchanges.

Specifications

Care & Handling
