Halsey Needle Holder

Description

Halsey Needle Holder

Some suturing calls for something a little longer than a Derf but lighter than a Mayo-Hegar. This halsey needle driver fills that gap at 13 cm. It handles small needles with a balanced, nimble feel, so it suits both intraoral flaps and fine facial skin work.

Where 13 cm Sits in a Holder Lineup

Think of the Halsey as the middle size. The 12 cm class keeps your hand very close to the needle, while 15 cm holders add reach for posterior sites. At 13 cm, therefore, you get a bit of extra reach without losing the fingertip control that small needles demand.

Handling Small Needles

The Halsey pattern is a traditional choice for plastic and fine soft tissue closure. Because the instrument is compact, your view of the needle point stays clear as it enters and exits the tissue. In addition, the light weight lets you rotate the holder quickly between passes. The catalogue gives only the name and the 13 cm length, so compare the product photos for jaw detail.

Common Uses for the Halsey

• Flap closure in the premolar and anterior regions.
• Small facial lacerations and lip repair.
• Graft fixation when a mid-length holder feels right.

What Ships With Each Halsey

Every 13 cm Halsey is stainless steel, and a US inspector in Atlanta looks it over for smooth joint action and even jaw closure. It comes unsterilized; accordingly, clean it and run it through your autoclave before it reaches the tray. Halsey drivers bought here carry three years against manufacturing defects, joint and jaws alike.

For alloy background, see ASTM F899. You can then browse the maxillofacial surgery category, or compare the shorter Derf Needle Holder with its serrated carbide tip. The FAQs explain ordering and returns.
