Troutman Needle Holder Curved 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Troutman needle holder is a 4 3/4-inch medium instrument designed to hold and guide needles during suturing. Its gently curved profile and 10.0 mm smooth jaws support controlled positioning where access, visibility, and deliberate hand movement matter. The round handle with longitudinal serrations provides a defined gripping surface, while the lock-free design allows direct manual control during needle placement and release. Suitable for specialty-neutral use across cardiovascular, general, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery workflows, it offers a practical format for routine needle-handling tasks without adding a locking mechanism to the instrument.

Use Cases

• Holding and guiding needles during suturing in general surgical workflows.
• Supporting controlled needle positioning where a gently curved instrument profile can assist access and visibility.
• Handling needles during cardiovascular surgical suturing tasks requiring a medium-length needle holder.
• Supporting ophthalmic and plastic surgery workflows involving deliberate, manual needle handling.
• Using direct hand control for needle engagement and release without a locking mechanism.
