Barraquer Needle Holder Straight 10.0 cm (4")

Controlled Needle Handling for Fine Suturing Work

The Barraquer needle holder is a 4 1/8-inch extra-delicate instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its straight profile supports a direct working approach, while the 7.5 mm smooth jaws provide a fine contact area for controlled needle handling. The round handle and integrated lock support steady positioning during repetitive passes and help maintain a consistent grip through delicate tasks. Suitable for use across cardiovascular, general surgery, and ophthalmic workflows, this needle holder offers a compact format for procedures that require careful manipulation, clear access, and precise instrument control without adding unnecessary bulk to the operative field.

Use Cases

• Holding and guiding needles during fine suturing in ophthalmic procedures.
• Supporting controlled needle placement in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Managing suturing tasks in general surgery where a compact, extra-delicate needle holder is appropriate.
• Using the straight profile to approach the working area directly during needle handling.
• Using the lock to help maintain needle positioning between controlled passes.
