Troutman Micro-Needle Holder

Description

Troutman Micro-Needle Holder

A Troutman micro needle holder is a short, nimble tool for fine sutures. We offer it in 12 cm and 13 cm. Its compact body suits surgeons who rest their hands close to the eye.

Two Compact Sizes

The 12 cm version is the shorter of the two. So it suits small hands and very close work. The 13 cm version adds a little reach, which helps when drapes or a speculum crowd the field.

A Pattern Linked to Corneal Work

The Troutman name often appears on corneal instruments. In general, this kind of holder suits fine closures at the cornea and limbus. However, it also works for other small sutures on the eye surface.

Holding It Close

Many users brace the side of the hand on the patient’s forehead. Then they work the spring with the fingertips. That short lever arm gives steady, small moves.

• 12 cm or 13 cm length
• Short body for close bracing
• Suited to fine sutures
• Reusable after sterilization

Choosing Among Micro Holders

Compare holders by length first, then by jaw shape. For example, a curved fine jaw gives a better view. Meanwhile, a short straight Troutman feels quick and direct.

Routine Troutman Care

Clean off blood before it dries. Next, scrub the jaws, rinse, and dry fully. Also lubricate the joint now and then, because a stiff spring makes fine work harder.

Troutman holders go out non-sterile and stay in service through repeated reprocessing cycles. Stainless steel to ASTM F899 is our standard here, and each piece gets checked in the United States. Your purchase includes three years against manufacturing defects on this compact holder. For a holder with a choice of jaw shape, see the fine Castroviejo pattern. More options sit in our ophthalmic surgical range, and the FAQ area explains orders.
