Kalt-Arruga Micro Needle Holder

Description

Kalt-Arruga Micro Needle Holder

A Kalt-Arruga needle holder suits surgeons who want a firm grip with a bit more length. It comes in 14 cm and 15 cm. Both sizes share the same jaw, so the choice is mostly about reach.

Picking 14 cm or 15 cm

The shorter 14 cm size feels compact and quick in the hand. On the other hand, the 15 cm size gives extra room when the brow or nose is in the way. If you are unsure, start with the shorter one.

Kalt-Arruga Grip and Control

Hold the instrument with the fingertips near the joint. Then close it with a smooth squeeze. Because the jaw bites firmly, the needle stays put while you pass it.

Common Kalt-Arruga Uses

In practice, holders of this pattern help with lid repairs, muscle sutures and conjunctival closure. They also work well when a needle is a little larger than a fine micro holder likes.

• Two lengths: 14 cm and 15 cm
• Firm jaw for steady needle control
• Suited to lid and muscle work
• Reusable after cleaning and sterilization

Matching Holder to Needle

Fine needles bend in a heavy jaw. So keep a delicate micro holder for very small sutures. Use the Kalt-Arruga needle holder for medium work, where a firm bite pays off.

Upkeep for a Kalt-Arruga

After the case, rinse off blood at once. Next, open the jaws and scrub them with a soft brush. Finally, dry, lubricate the joint and check that the jaws meet evenly.

Each holder goes out non-sterile, and with sound cleaning and sterilization it lasts for years of cases. Its body is stainless steel per ASTM F899, and every piece passes checks in the United States. Kalt-Arruga owners get three years against manufacturing defects, in writing. For a shorter hybrid, see the Castroviejo-Kalt holder.
