Mathieu Needle Holder Straight 17.1 cm (6.7)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Mathieu needle holder is a surgical instrument used to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its 6 3/4-inch length provides a practical working format for handling needles within cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows. Straight serrated jaws support a controlled hold on the needle, while the flat handle offers a straightforward surface for instrument manipulation. This configuration is suited to routine needle-handling tasks where consistent positioning and deliberate hand control are important. As a specialty-neutral needle holder, it can support varied procedural setups without implying exclusive use in any one surgical application.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding needles during suturing in cardiovascular procedures.
• Supporting routine needle handling and placement in general surgery workflows.
• Managing needles during tissue approximation tasks in plastic surgery.
• Using the straight serrated jaws for controlled contact with the needle during instrument-assisted suturing.
• Incorporating a 6 3/4-inch needle holder into surgical setups that call for a flat-handle design.
