16" Nolan Needle Holder TC heavy boxlock

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The 16" Nolan Needle Holder TC heavy boxlock is a general-surgery instrument designed to grasp, guide, and control surgical needles during suturing. Its extended 16-inch length supports access across the operative field, while the heavy weight class suits tasks that call for a substantial instrument profile. Tungsten carbide construction provides a durable working surface for repeated needle-handling duties, and the boxlock design supports consistent, controlled manipulation in the hand. Together, these features provide a practical option for surgeons and operating-room teams seeking dependable needle control during open surgical procedures.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding needles during suturing in general-surgery procedures.
• Supporting needle control when working across a broader or deeper operative field with the 16-inch length.
• Handling needles during routine wound closure and tissue approximation tasks.
• Using a heavy needle holder when a substantial instrument profile is preferred for controlled manipulation.
• Incorporating a boxlock needle holder into standard instrument handling and suturing workflows.
