Obwegeser Needle Holder

Description

Obwegeser Needle Holder

The Obwegeser needle holder is an oral and maxillofacial pattern. It comes in five lengths, from 12 cm to 18 cm.

Made for the mouth

Oral closure takes place in a small, wet space. So compact jaws help you place stitches around teeth and along the gums. Also, the Obwegeser needle holder grips the small curved needles common in dental closure.

Five sizes

The 12, 13 and 13.5 cm sizes suit the front of the mouth. By contrast, 17 and 18 cm reach molars and deeper tissue. Then the shortest sizes fit easily in a small mouth.

Stainless steel

The holder uses plain stainless steel. Also, the finger rings and ratchet feel familiar to any dental or surgical team. So new team members adapt quickly.

Where it fits

Oral surgeons often keep a short and a long Obwegeser needle holder on the same tray. Then they can move from anterior flaps to posterior sites quickly. Dental clinics use it for extraction site closure as well. Also, the short sizes pack neatly into compact dental cassettes.

Cleaning Obwegeser needle holder

First, rinse saliva and blood away promptly. Next, brush the jaws and box joint in an ultrasonic-safe basket. Then dry the holder and lubricate the hinge.
