Metzenbaum Needle Holder

Description

Metzenbaum Needle Holder

The Metzenbaum needle holder offers a slim, balanced pattern for soft-tissue suturing. It comes in 17, 18 and 19 cm.

Slim jaws

Narrow tips let you see the needle as it enters tissue. So the holder suits careful work in bowel and soft tissue. Also, the Metzenbaum needle holder matches the reach of common dissecting scissors.

Carbide choice

Tungsten carbide jaws with the normal serration suit everyday sutures and outlast plain steel. Alternatively, plain stainless jaws suit lighter use. Gold handles mark this carbide option.

Three lengths

The 17 cm size stays close to the wound. Meanwhile, 18 and 19 cm reach moderate depth. Then pick whichever size suits the wound.

Where it fits

General surgeons often pair a Metzenbaum needle holder with matching Metzenbaum scissors. Then both tools share a similar reach and feel. Because the pattern is slim, it also works in pediatric sets. Also, the ring handles give a light, familiar feel. Meanwhile, the ratchet holds each needle at the angle you set.

Looking after Metzenbaum needle holder

Rinse the jaws soon after use so tissue does not harden. Next, brush the joint and ratchet carefully. Once dry, place the holder in a rack with tip protection.
