Diethrich needle holder 9 straight 1.0mm serrated TC jaws gold ring handle with spring lock

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Diethrich needle holder is a 9-inch straight instrument designed to grasp and guide suture needles during suturing. Its 1.0 mm serrated tungsten carbide jaws provide a defined gripping surface, while the ring handle and spring lock support controlled handling through repeated needle-placement tasks. The straight profile offers a direct working orientation that can help maintain a clear view of the operative field, and the extended length supports access within a range of surgical approaches. Suitable for cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows, this needle holder brings focused control to delicate suturing, closure, and approximation tasks without adding unnecessary complexity to instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide suture needles during general surgical closure and tissue approximation.
• Support controlled needle handling in cardiovascular procedures where a straight profile and extended 9-inch length suit the working field.
• Assist with precise suturing tasks in plastic surgery, including closure work that benefits from a defined serrated jaw surface.
• Use the ring handle and spring lock to maintain a stable grip while repositioning or passing needles through tissue.
• Apply the straight instrument profile for direct access and visualization during routine needle-handling steps.
