DeBakey needle holder 7 straight, TC dusted jaws ring handle

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The DeBakey needle holder is a 7-inch straight instrument designed to grasp and control needles during suturing. Its ring handle supports familiar instrument handling, while the TC dusted jaws provide a purpose-built gripping surface for needle manipulation. The straight profile offers a direct working approach and useful reach in routine operative settings. This configuration can support suturing workflows in cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery, where consistent needle control and deliberate hand positioning are important to efficient instrument handling. Its focused design helps keep needle management straightforward without adding unnecessary configuration to the surgical setup.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide needles during suturing in cardiovascular procedures.
• Support routine needle handling and closure tasks in general surgery.
• Provide controlled needle manipulation for neurosurgical suturing workflows.
• Assist with precise needle positioning during plastic surgery closure and reconstruction tasks.
