M.G.H. Needle Holder

Description

M.G.H. Needle Holder

This needle holder follows the M.G.H. pattern at 17 or 18 cm. It fills the gap between short clinic holders and long cavity holders.

General-purpose needle holder, M.G.H. pattern

The jaws handle a wide range of needle sizes. So one holder can cover skin, fascia and subcutaneous layers. Many surgeons treat it as a daily workhorse.

All-stainless needle holder, M.G.H. design

It contains no inserts, only plain stainless steel. Also, the simple build makes reprocessing quick. Plus, stainless steel resists corrosion with proper care.

Ring-handle needle holder, M.G.H. style

Finger rings and a ratchet work like most standard holders. Therefore staff can pick it up without adjustment. Then a second pair makes a handy spare.

Choosing a length

The 17 cm size gives a little more control. By contrast, the 18 cm size adds reach for deeper wounds. Many general trays hold one as their daily holder. Plus, the plain steel build keeps the price modest for bulk orders. So clinics can stock several without a large outlay.

Reprocessing M.G.H. needle holder

Rinse the holder in cool water right after the case. Next, brush the jaws and joint with a neutral detergent. Then dry it and keep it with the ratchet unlocked.
