Surgical Needle Holder 34.3 cm (13.5) TC (Gold Handle)

Controlled Needle Handling with Extended VATS Reach

The 13 1/2" VATS Needle Holder 7mm Shaft Heavy TC Jaws is a surgical needle holder designed to grasp and control needles during suturing, with an extended profile suited to procedures requiring reach through limited access. Its 13 1/2" length supports working farther within the operative field, while the 7mm shaft helps maintain a slim instrument profile for access and visualization. Heavy tungsten carbide jaws provide a durable gripping interface for controlled needle handling. It is suited to cardiovascular and general surgery workflows where secure manipulation and consistent instrument handling are important.

Use Cases

• Grasping and positioning needles during suturing in VATS procedures.
• Supporting needle handling through limited-access operative approaches where extended reach is useful.
• Managing suturing tasks in cardiovascular surgery requiring controlled needle manipulation.
• Supporting general surgery closure and repair workflows involving surgical needles.
• Using the heavy jaw configuration for deliberate needle control during instrument-assisted suturing.
