Ryder (Martin) Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

Description

Ryder (Martin) Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

The Ryder needle holder, also known as the Martin pattern, has slim, fine jaws. Its carbide jaw inserts use a mini serration suited to finer sutures.

Mini serration

The mini serration sits between regular and micro. So it grips finer sutures while still handling mid-size needles. Also, the carbide keeps that serration crisp over time.

Eight lengths

Sizes run from 13 to 26 cm. As a result, one pattern serves skin, deep fascia and cavity work. Then gold handles make each size easy to spot.

Ryder or Martin

Some catalogues call this holder Martin, and others call it Ryder. Either way, the Ryder needle holder keeps the same slim ring-handled design. So you can order by either name.

Choosing a length

The shorter sizes work well in plastic and hand surgery. Meanwhile, the 20 to 26 cm Ryder needle holder reaches into the chest and pelvis. Pick two lengths to cover most trays.

Reprocessing Ryder needle holder

Soon after use, rinse the holder so blood cannot set in the inserts. Then clean the joint and ratchet with a brush. Also, check that the jaw tips still meet before sterilization.
