DeBakey vascular needle holder 10 straight serrated TC jaws gold ring handle

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Specialties

The DeBakey vascular needle holder is a 10-inch instrument designed to grasp and guide surgical needles during suturing. Its straight, serrated tungsten carbide jaws provide a defined contact surface for controlled needle handling, while the gold ring handle supports familiar instrument manipulation. The light weight class can help reduce unnecessary bulk during longer procedures or detailed work. Its extended length offers useful reach for cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery workflows, supporting access where a longer needle holder is preferred without changing the instrument’s straightforward operating purpose.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding needles during vascular and cardiovascular suturing tasks.
• Supporting controlled needle placement in general surgical closure and repair workflows.
• Providing extended reach for selected neurosurgical suturing tasks where a 10-inch needle holder is appropriate.
• Handling needles during plastic surgery closure and fine soft-tissue repair workflows.
• Using the straight serrated jaws for secure, deliberate needle control during routine suturing.
