Wangensteen Needle Holders Serration Pitch 270mm Tungsten Carbide Surgical Needle Holders

Controlled Needle Handling with Extended Reach

Wangensteen Needle Holders are surgical instruments designed to grasp, control, and guide needles during suturing. With an overall length of 270mm, this tungsten carbide needle holder provides an extended working profile for general surgery workflows where deliberate handling and access are important. Its needle-holder format supports secure instrument control during repeated suturing tasks, while the tungsten carbide construction is suited to the working surfaces that engage the needle. The longer design can help maintain a practical distance between the operator’s hand and the operative field, supporting organized instrument handling without changing the familiar role of a standard needle holder.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding surgical needles during general surgery suturing tasks.
• Supporting controlled needle positioning when working through a deeper or less direct access path.
• Maintaining a practical hand position while advancing, retrieving, or redirecting needles.
• Handling needles during repeated closure and repair workflows that require a dedicated needle holder.
• Using the 270mm instrument length where extended reach is useful within the operative field.
