Zweifel Needle Holder

Description

Zweifel Needle Holder

The Zweifel needle holder is a heavy pattern for gynaecology. Its sturdy jaws drive large needles through firm tissue.

Heavy construction

Thick shanks resist flexing under load. So the needle stays square in the jaws while you push through tough layers. That rigidity also helps with heavy suture material.

Jaw choice

Stainless jaws keep the cost down. Meanwhile, carbide inserts in the normal profile grip large curved needles for many more cycles. Gold handles mark the carbide pair, so the team can pick the right one fast.

Two lengths

The 20 cm size handles most pelvic closure. By contrast, the 23 cm size adds reach for deeper work. Next, match the Zweifel needle holder length to your retractors and patient size.

Where it fits

Gynaecology trays often pair one Zweifel needle holder with a longer Heaney or Wertheim. Then the team can switch between reach and power. Because the pattern is heavy, it also suits large abdominal closures.

Reprocessing Zweifel needle holder

Wipe off tissue during the case with a damp sponge. Later, brush the jaws and ratchet under running water. Also, lubricate the box joint after cleaning so the action stays smooth.
