Barraquer Needle Holder Curved 13.3 cm (5.2) TC (Gold Handle)

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The Barraquer needle holder is a surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its 5 1/4-inch length and curved profile support controlled handling when access or viewing angles make a straight instrument less convenient. The 8.5 mm TC dusted jaws are named for secure needle engagement, while the round titanium handle provides a lightweight instrument format for routine manipulation. A lock-free design allows the user to maintain direct control of the instrument during needle placement and release. Intended for general surgery workflows, it provides focused support for precise, repeatable suture handling without adding unnecessary mechanism complexity.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding suture needles during general surgical closure.
• Using the curved profile to approach suturing sites from an angled working position.
• Applying controlled manual handling through the round handle during needle transfer and placement.
• Using the lock-free format when direct release and continuous hand control are preferred.
• Supporting routine needle manipulation with the 8.5 mm TC dusted jaws.
