Needle Holder 5
In stock
The 5-inch needle holder is an essential surgical instrument used in veterinary medicine to securely grasp and guide suture needles through tissue. At this compact length, it offers maximum control and precision, making it highly favored for delicate soft tissue repairs, ophthalmic, and veterinary dental procedures on small animals.

Specs & features.
Visually resembling a hemostat or scissor, the instrument is distinctly designed to manipulate needles rather than cut tissue (unless integrated with a scissor blade). It features short, textured jaws, an ergonomic finger-ring handle, and a ratcheted locking mechanism.

- Compact Size: The 5-inch (12.7 cm) length minimizes bulkiness, allowing veterinarians excellent maneuverability in confined spaces and smaller animal patients.
- Securing Mechanism: Equipped with a built-in ratchet lock (box lock) that keeps the jaws clamped tightly shut. This minimizes needle slippage and reduces hand fatigue during long procedures.
- Textured / Carbide Jaws: Jaws typically feature cross-hatched serrations. Premium models feature Tungsten Carbide inserts (often identified by gold-plated handles) which provide a superior grip and prevent the needle from rotating or bending.
