Hepp-Scheidel Micro Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

Description

Hepp-Scheidel Micro Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

The Hepp-Scheidel needle holder is a spring-handle micro holder at 18 cm. Surgeons reach for it in neuro and vascular work, where fine needles need a steady hold.

Spring handles

Light finger pressure closes the jaws, and the spring opens them again. So you can rotate the holder between your fingertips while you pass each stitch. Because the spring returns the jaws, there is no ratchet to click.

Tungsten carbide jaws

Hard inserts line the tips of this holder. As a result, tiny needles sit securely across many cycles. Gold handles also mark the carbide version on the tray. That wear resistance makes the Hepp-Scheidel needle holder a sound long-term buy.

A long micro instrument

At 18 cm, the holder reaches past retractors into a deep field. Meanwhile, the fine tips keep your view of the needle open. So even in a cramped neurosurgical opening, you keep sight of each bite.

Where it fits

Neurosurgical and vascular trays often carry one Hepp-Scheidel needle holder for deep micro closure. Then a shorter micro holder covers surface work. Because the handles stay slim, the holder also suits long procedures where hand fatigue matters.

Cleaning Hepp-Scheidel needle holder

Open the spring handles fully before cleaning so water reaches the joint. Next, brush the carbide tips gently with a soft brush. Finally, fit a tip guard over the dry jaws for storage.
