Crile-Wood needle holder 9 straight serrated jaws ring handle

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Crile-Wood needle holder is a ring-handle instrument designed to hold and guide surgical needles during suturing. Its 9-inch length provides useful reach for working within operative fields, while the straight profile supports direct alignment and a clear approach to the suture line. Serrated jaws help maintain contact with the needle during controlled placement, and the ring handle supports familiar instrument handling throughout repetitive closure tasks. This configuration can serve suturing workflows in cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery, where dependable needle control and consistent manipulation are central to efficient instrument technique.
