Surgical Needle Holder 20.9 cm (8.2)

Controlled Needle Handling for Sternal and General Surgical Workflows

The 8 1/4" Sternal Needle Holder is a surgical instrument designed to hold and guide needles during suturing, supporting controlled handling in procedures that require secure needle positioning. Its sternal designation makes it relevant to cardiovascular workflows, while its needle-holder format also supports applicable general surgery tasks. The 8.25" overall length provides a practical working reach for instrument handling around the operative field. By keeping the needle stabilized during placement and passage, it can help support an organized suturing workflow without replacing the technique or judgment of the surgical team.

Use Cases

• Holding and guiding needles during sternal closure and other cardiovascular suturing tasks.
• Supporting controlled needle handling during applicable general surgery procedures.
• Maintaining a secure grasp on the needle while positioning it for passage through tissue or closure material.
• Providing an extended instrument length for routine handling around the operative field.
