Crile Needle Holder

Description

Crile Needle Holder

The Crile needle holder is a compact 15 cm pattern in plain stainless steel. It handles routine skin and soft-tissue closure in clinics and minor-procedure rooms.

Plain stainless jaws

The jaws carry a simple cross serration for small and medium needles. Also, the all-steel build keeps the price low. That makes it a popular first holder for new staff.

Short and nimble

At 15 cm, the holder sits close to the hand. So you get fine control over each bite at the wound edge. Since it weighs little, the Crile needle holder feels quick and precise in the hand.

Everyday lock

A three-step ratchet holds the needle firmly between passes. Then a small squeeze frees the jaws again. Plus, the rings fit most glove sizes comfortably.

Building a set

Many practices stock several of these for minor surgery kits. For example, one Crile needle holder, a pair of Adson forceps and suture scissors cover most small closures. Because the pattern is simple, it also suits student training. Plus, the short size fits neatly in dressing packs.

Reprocessing Crile needle holder

Rinse off blood and saline before it dries. Next, wash the holder with a neutral cleaner and a soft brush. Finally, dry it and oil the joint lightly with instrument lubricant.
