You can choose seven lengths, from 5.5″ to 11″. For example, short sizes suit skin closure, while long ones reach deep in the abdomen. Also, gold rings mark it as a carbide instrument.

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.

We make every instrument at our workshop in Sialkot, Pakistan. Before dispatch, our team checks each piece for jaw alignment, ratchet action and needle grip. We supply it non-sterile, so sterilize it before first use. In addition, a 3-month warranty covers material and manufacturing defects.
