Barraquer Needle Holder Straight 13.3 cm (5.2)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Barraquer needle holder is a 5 1/4-inch surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its straight profile and 12.0mm smooth jaws provide a direct working geometry for controlled needle positioning, while the round handle supports familiar hand manipulation. Without a lock, it allows the user to maintain and release grip through manual control during repetitive suturing tasks. The standard configuration fits a range of workflows in cardiovascular, general surgery, and ophthalmic settings where an appropriately sized needle holder is selected for the technique. Its focused design supports organized instrument handling and precise needle management at the operative field.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide needles during suturing in general surgical workflows.
• Support controlled needle handling during cardiovascular procedures when the instrument size and jaw profile suit the technique.
• Assist with ophthalmic suturing tasks requiring a straight needle holder with smooth jaws.
• Use the non-locking configuration for manual grip adjustment and release throughout repetitive needle-passing work.
