Crile-Murray Needle Holder

Description

Crile-Murray Needle Holder

The Crile-Murray needle holder is a short 15 cm pattern in stainless steel. It suits quick, everyday closure in clinics and emergency rooms.

Short and sturdy

The compact length keeps the tips close to your fingers. So each bite lands exactly where you aim. Also, the Crile-Murray needle holder fits neatly into small suture kits.

Serrated jaws

Fine cross-hatching on the jaws holds small and mid-size needles. Also, the plain steel build keeps maintenance easy. In addition, the steel resists staining with prompt cleaning.

Ratchet hold

A ratchet locks the needle between passes. Then a squeeze releases it smoothly. As a result, the needle rarely slips during a quick closure.

Where it fits

Emergency departments often stock a Crile-Murray needle holder in laceration kits. Meanwhile, veterinary clinics use it for routine skin closure. Because it costs little, teams can keep several on hand. Also, the short length packs neatly in suture trays and travel kits. Then the ratchet keeps each needle steady during quick repairs. So staff can close small cuts with little setup.

Cleaning Crile-Murray needle holder

Clean the holder promptly so blood does not stain the steel. Next, brush the serrated jaws and the joint. Finally, dry it and check that the ratchet still engages firmly.
