16 Crile-Wood Needle Holder TC straight

Extended, Controlled Needle Handling for Surgical Suturing

The 16" Crile-Wood Needle Holder TC straight is a surgical instrument designed to grasp, guide, and release suturing needles during operative closure and repair. Its straight profile supports direct alignment with the working field, while the 16" overall length provides extended reach for procedures where access and hand positioning matter. The tungsten carbide coating/material contributes to a durable working surface for repeated needle handling. Suitable for both cardiovascular and general surgery workflows, this needle holder helps support controlled instrument manipulation while keeping the task of needle placement and retrieval clear and consistent.

Use Cases
