7 1/2 Jacobson Heavy NH Fine Touch lock

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The 7 1/2" Jacobson Heavy NH Fine Touch lock is a needle holder designed to grasp and control surgical needles during general surgery. Its 7 1/2" length provides working reach, while the Jacobson Heavy profile and Fine Touch lock designation support deliberate instrument handling during suturing tasks. As part of the needle-holder family, it helps organize the grasping step of the suturing workflow and can be selected when a longer instrument format is useful for access and hand positioning. The locking design also supports maintaining a controlled hold while the operator performs related surgical maneuvers.

Use Cases

• Grasping and positioning surgical needles during general-surgery suturing tasks.
• Maintaining a controlled needle hold while advancing, retrieving, or repositioning the needle.
• Using the 7 1/2" format when additional working reach is useful within the operative field.
• Supporting organized instrument handling during repeated needle-transfer steps.
