The Plastic Surgery 6″ Crile-Wood Needle Holder – Straight “GG” is a high-precision surgical instrument specifically engineered for secure needle handling and meticulous suturing during plastic, cosmetic, reconstructive, dermatologic, and general surgical procedures. With an overall length of 6 inches (15.2 cm), this compact needle holder provides exceptional maneuverability and precise control, making it ideal for delicate tissue approximation and fine suturing in confined surgical fields.

The Crile-Wood Needle Holder is a preferred choice among plastic surgeons because of its slimmer profile and finer jaws compared to standard Mayo-Hegar needle holders. This design allows for superior handling of small surgical needles and fine suture materials commonly used in facial plastic surgery, hand surgery, breast procedures, scar revision, and other operations requiring meticulous tissue handling. The straight jaw configuration enables accurate needle alignment and smooth passage through delicate tissues while maintaining excellent visibility of the operative site.

The “GG” precision design enhances the instrument’s structural integrity, balance, and overall performance. Precision-machined cross-serrated straight jaws securely grip surgical needles while minimizing rotation and slippage during suturing. This dependable needle retention improves suture placement accuracy, reduces tissue trauma, and enhances overall surgical efficiency. The fine jaw profile is especially suitable for handling delicate monofilament and braided sutures used in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

Manufactured from premium medical-grade stainless steel, the Plastic Surgery 6″ Crile-Wood Needle Holder offers outstanding corrosion resistance, exceptional strength, and long-lasting durability. The instrument is engineered to withstand repeated cleaning, chemical disinfection, and steam autoclave sterilization while maintaining precise jaw alignment and smooth mechanical operation. A satin finish minimizes glare from operating room lights, providing improved visualization during intricate surgical procedures.

The integrated ratchet locking mechanism securely holds the surgical needle without requiring continuous hand pressure. Multiple locking positions allow surgeons to adjust gripping force according to different needle sizes and suture materials. Ergonomic finger ring handles provide excellent balance, comfortable handling, and enhanced tactile feedback, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged surgical procedures and allowing precise instrument control.

The Plastic Surgery 6″ Crile-Wood Needle Holder – Straight “GG” is widely used during facelift surgery, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, scar revision, hand surgery, dermatologic surgery, microsurgical soft tissue closure, facial reconstruction, and delicate cosmetic procedures. Its compact size and fine jaws make it particularly valuable for procedures requiring accurate needle manipulation in limited surgical spaces.

Trusted by plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, dermatologic surgeons, and reconstructive specialists, this reusable surgical instrument meets the highest standards of modern operating rooms. Combining precision engineering, ergonomic comfort, and premium stainless steel construction, the Plastic Surgery 6″ Crile-Wood Needle Holder – Straight “GG” is an essential instrument for achieving consistent, precise, and reliable surgical suturing.
