Our Crile-Wood needle holder has narrow, tapered jaws for precise suturing in deeper fields. Its tungsten carbide inserts hold the needle firmly.
You can choose serrated or smooth jaws, in 6″, 7″, 8″ or 9″. Because the jaws are slimmer than a Mayo-Hegar, you see the needle better. As a result, it suits plastic, breast and abdominal work.

Cleaning and Sterilization
Clean the needle holder soon after each use. First, open the ratchet and soak it in a pH-neutral enzymatic cleaner. Then brush the jaws and box joint with a soft nylon brush. After that, rinse and dry it fully. Finally, autoclave it in the open position. Also, check the jaw inserts often, so worn tips get serviced early.
