tungsten carbide, w/ lock, 0.76 mm tip, 7-1/4″ (18.5 cm)
Spencer Needle Holder is handcrafted from German stainless steel and tungsten carbide inserts for a durable and strong instrument. Designed with an extremely narrow tipped jaw and a lock, this instrument allows for suturing in the most precise conditions. The tip is designed to reduced needle rotation while the handle promises a comfortable grip. Tungsten carbide needle holders provide unparalleled control while suturing. The precision-milled, pyramid-shaped teeth ensure a dependable, non-slip surface. Some needle holder styles are also available with smooth tungsten carbide jaws, designed to hold the smallest sutures in microsurgical and plastic surgery procedures. Tungsten carbide jaws are inherently more durable than stainless steel and clinicians will experience an extended service-life. These needle holders feature gold-plated handles.
