Barraquer Needle Holder Curved 10.0 cm (4")

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Specialties

The Barraquer needle holder is a 4 1/8" surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its delicate curved, smooth jaws support controlled handling in confined operative fields, while the round titanium handle offers a lightweight-feeling format for instrument manipulation. The no-lock design allows the user to regulate jaw pressure directly during each task. Its compact profile can support precise work in cardiovascular, general surgery, and ophthalmic settings where access, visibility, and careful needle placement are important. This configuration provides a focused solution for clinicians seeking direct, responsive needle control without a locking mechanism.

Use Cases

• Holding and guiding needles during cardiovascular suturing tasks where a delicate, curved profile can support access around the operative field.
• Managing routine needle-handling steps in general surgery, including controlled placement and retrieval during wound closure.
• Supporting ophthalmic suturing workflows that call for a compact instrument and careful manipulation of small needles.
• Using the smooth jaws for direct needle control while adjusting grip pressure manually through the round handle.
• Working in areas where the curved shape may help approach the needle from a more suitable angle.
