Crilewood Needle Holder

The Crilewood Needle Holder is a fine surgical instrument used for holding needles during suturing in delicate procedures. It is especially useful in surgeries where precision is crucial, such as in ophthalmic, plastic, or microsurgeries.

Key Features:

1. Design:
   • The Crilewood needle holder features a slender, fine shaft, making it ideal for intricate surgeries. Additionally, the jaws are narrow and equipped with fine serrations, providing a secure grip on needles without causing damage.
2. Material:
   • Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the Crilewood needle holder is both durable and resistant to corrosion. As a result, it remains functional and precise, even after multiple sterilizations.
3. Grip:
   • The ergonomic handles allow for a secure, controlled grip, which enhances the surgeon’s control. Furthermore, the ratchet mechanism locks the instrument in place, ensuring a stable hold on the needle.
4. Size and Shape:
   • Crilewood needle holders are generally smaller in size, which makes them perfect for delicate procedures. Moreover, the fine serrations and narrow jaws allow for greater precision and control.

Common Uses:

• Suturing: Surgeons commonly use Crilewood needle holders to grip needles securely during suturing, particularly in delicate surgeries.
• Microsurgery: Due to their precision, Crilewood needle holders are ideal for microsurgical procedures.
• Ophthalmic and Plastic Surgery: The fine serrations and small size make them perfect for ophthalmic and plastic surgeries, where detail is paramount.

Advantages:

• The fine, serrated jaws provide a secure grip on needles, which reduces the risk of slippage during delicate procedures.
• In addition, the slender design allows for greater precision and control, especially in small surgical sites.
• The ergonomic handles and ratchet mechanism also help reduce hand fatigue, improving comfort during long surgeries.

Limitations:

• However, the Crilewood needle holder is designed for delicate procedures and may not be suitable for larger needles or heavier suturing tasks.
• Additionally, its small size requires more precise handling to avoid damaging the needle or surrounding tissue.
