NEEDLEHOLDERS | STANDARD

The "Halsey" needle holder, with its length of 13.5 cm, is a very compact model. Capable of using suture materials from 4-0 to 7-0, this instrument finds universal application in various surgical treatments, up to micro-surgery. The ring grip provides the surgeon with good control over the instrument, and the lock integrated into the rings allows the needle to be gripped and fixed at different stages. Tungsten carbide inserts give the instrument the necessary longevity of the jaws due to less wear compared to models without such inserts.

The "Hösel" needle holder has a total length of 21 cm. The particularly long handle branches create a large leverage effect, allowing the needle holder to be operated with little effort. The 2 mm thick jaw allows thread sizes from 2-0 to 4-0 to be used. In addition, the jaw is fitted with carbide inserts (TC inserts) to make it particularly resistant to abrasion and to hold the needle securely without twisting. Another special feature is the ratchet, which has been moved inwards to prevent the glove from becoming trapped. The spring of the instrument is located between the branches.

The "Mayo-Hegar" model with an overall length of 160 mm, which is popular in many dental practices, offers versatile use for surgical sutures in a wide range of treatment procedures. This length also allows work in the posterior areas of the oral cavity. The ring handle not only sits comfortably in the hand, but also gives the practitioner easy control over the instrument. The lock can be adjusted in stages and can be easily released again if required. Carbide inserts give the needle a good grip in the mouth and extend the service life of the instrument compared to needle holders without such inserts. Thread sizes from 2-0 to 4-0 can be easily processed with this model.

This model "Mathieu" in 14 cm length has a slim jaw compared to the models with standard working end. The tungsten carbide inserts (TC inserts) are cross-ribbed and allow the use of suture material from 2-0 to 4-0. These inserts considerably extend the service life of the instrument compared to models without them. The 14 cm version is the smaller version in the series, which is particularly suitable for smaller hands. Between the branches of the handle there is both a rotation lock for step-adjustable engagement function and the spring mechanism for holding open when the instrument is not in use.

With a length of 16 cm, it is in the medium range. The ring handle gives the surgeon good control over the instrument. Compared to other needle holders, the mail runs parallel and is fitted with carbide inserts (TC insert). This provides the necessary support for the needle in the mouth and protects the instrument from rapid wear. Between the rings of the handle there is an adjustable ratchet, which allows the needle to be held in the mouth without the need for additional force and can be easily released again.

The "Mathieu" needle holder in 17 cm length with straight jaw and rotation lock is suitable for use with suture material from 2-0 to 4-0. The carbide insert (TC insert) with cross grooving is standard size and gives the instrument a longer service life than comparable needle holders without such inserts. They also provide the necessary grip on the needle to prevent it from twisting. This model is the larger version from the series with standard carbide inserts. A spring is installed between the branches of the handle, which means that the needle holder opens automatically if no force is applied to the handle.

The 17 cm version of the "Mathieu" needle holder is well suited for sewing work in the back of the oral cavity due to its length. This instrument is from the range of needle holders with a slim mouth.

A spring is also fitted between the branches to ensure that the needle holder opens automatically. This needle holder is suitable for thread sizes from 2-0 to 4-0.

This model from the "Mayo-Hegar" range is the shortest version at 140 mm. The ring handle on the instrument makes it particularly easy to handle. Carbide inserts (TC inserts) give the instrument the necessary durability and secure grip of the needle in the jaw, which prevents it from twisting. The needle holder is suitable for suture material from 2-0 up to 4-0. The lock between the rings of the handle allows the needle holder to be fixed in stages and released easily. This instrument is an all-rounder for surgical suturing work and is one of the most frequently used needle holders in surgical practices.

With its total length of 180 mm, this needle holder from the "Mayo-Hegar" series is one of the longer versions, allowing good accessibility to the posterior areas of the oral cavity with good visibility at the same time. The ring handles allow comfortable working and easy guidance of the instrument during the operation. The ratchet, which is responsible for engaging the needle holder, is located between the rings of the handle. This allows the needle to be fixed in position in the carbide-covered jaw. The needle holder is designed for working with suture material from 2-0 to 4-0.

At 200 mm, this model is the longest version in the "Mayo-Hegar" range. The long lever created by the length of the handle makes it easy to operate the needle holder. In combination with the ring handle, the instrument is very comfortable to use and is particularly suitable for use in the posterior areas of the mouth.

The "Lichtenberg-Ryder" is a needle holder with a branch handle measuring 165 mm in total length. An inward-offset lock prevents glove damage during treatment and allows the needle holder to lock at various stages. The lock is released by further squeezing the branches. This feature keeps the needle in position and prevents it from twisting during stitching and guiding. Additionally, there is a double spring between the branches, providing a good tactile feel for closing the needle holder as it has no friction points on the instrument and is easier to operate than a single spring design.
