DeBakey Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

Description

DeBakey Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

The DeBakey needle holder offers the longest reach in this range, from 18 to 38 cm. Tungsten carbide inserts with a mini profile suit finer cardiovascular sutures.

Cardiovascular reach

Long shanks carry the DeBakey needle holder jaws deep into the chest. Meanwhile, your hands stay well above the field and out of your line of sight. Plus, the long body stays rigid for control at depth.

Mini profile

The mini serration grips finer sutures without crushing them. Plus, the carbide inserts resist wear across many cases. So the needle stays put during long anastomoses.

Nine lengths

Choose from 18, 20, 23, 25, 26, 30, 31, 37 or 38 cm. So you can match the holder to each depth you meet. Also, the longest sizes suit deep pelvic work.

Choosing a length

The 18 to 26 cm sizes suit open heart and thoracic work. Then the 30 cm and longer sizes reach deep abdominal and pelvic fields in larger patients. Many teams keep a short and a long DeBakey needle holder together.

Cleaning DeBakey needle holder

Support the long shanks while you clean them, so they do not flex or bend. Next, brush the inserts and flush the joint. Finally, dry the holder and store it flat on a full-length tray.
