Use and application of needle holders
Needle holders are surgical instruments used when suturing wounds to hold the needle securely and guide or knot the surgical thread. They are made of non-glare, brushed steel, are individually sterile packaged and can be stored for at least five years. It is therefore worthwhile ordering needle holders in larger quantities to save on packaging costs.
There are different versions of needle holders, with or without a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism prevents the jaws from opening unintentionally, which makes work easier, especially with complex or deep sutures. The jaws themselves have a ribbed structure to grip surgical needles securely and without slipping. This also allows small needles to be guided precisely, as they are difficult to grasp with the bare hand. For very fine sutures, micro needle holders without a locking mechanism are often used instead.
The different names refer to different needle holders with their various properties. Find an overview here:
- Mathieu needle holders are extremely practical for surgical sutures when the surgeon frequently needs to change grip
- Castroviejo needle holders are used primarily in ophthalmic surgery and are particularly delicate and easy to handle
- Olsen-Hegar needle holders feature integrated scissors for suturing wounds without assistance
- Mayo-Hegar needle holders with a locking mechanism
- Tönnis needle holders without a locking mechanism
