The OB/GYN 7 1/2″ W.M. Lemmon Cardiac Needle Holder TC Long is a specialized surgical needle-holding instrument engineered for precision suturing and controlled needle manipulation during delicate surgical procedures. With an overall length of 7 1/2 inches (approximately 19 cm), this needle holder provides excellent balance, reach, and control for surgeons requiring accurate suture placement in confined operative fields.
W.M. Lemmon cardiac needle holders are designed to support fine surgical suturing techniques where precision, stability, and reliable needle control are essential. Although commonly associated with cardiovascular surgery, this style of needle holder is also suitable for gynecological procedures and other specialties requiring meticulous tissue closure and delicate suturing. It is frequently used in procedures involving fine sutures, vascular repair, soft tissue approximation, and reconstructive surgical techniques.
The long jaw design allows improved access to deeper surgical areas while maintaining excellent visibility and maneuverability. This extended configuration helps surgeons position and manipulate needles accurately without excessive instrument interference, making it valuable in procedures requiring precision within restricted anatomical spaces.
The instrument features tungsten carbide (TC) inserts integrated into the jaws, providing enhanced gripping strength and superior needle control compared with standard stainless steel jaws. The TC surface improves resistance to wear, maintains secure needle positioning, and helps prevent needle rotation or slipping during suturing. This feature makes the instrument ideal for repeated use in demanding surgical environments.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the OB/GYN 7 1/2″ W.M. Lemmon Cardiac Needle Holder TC Long offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The high-quality construction ensures the instrument maintains alignment, locking performance, and precision after repeated clinical use and sterilization cycles.
The ergonomic ring handles provide comfortable handling and excellent tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to perform delicate suturing movements with improved control. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism allows secure needle fixation at different pressure levels, helping reduce hand fatigue during extended surgical procedures.
The finely balanced design supports smooth operation and accurate needle placement, making it suitable for hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, teaching institutions, and specialized surgical departments. Its versatility allows use across multiple applications, including gynecological surgery, cardiovascular procedures, vascular repair, and microsurgical tissue closure.
The reusable construction allows the OB/GYN 7 1/2″ W.M. Lemmon Cardiac Needle Holder TC Long to withstand standard steam autoclave sterilization and approved hospital reprocessing protocols. The durable stainless steel body and tungsten carbide inserts provide extended service life while maintaining reliable surgical performance.
Trusted by surgical professionals, the OB/GYN 7 1/2″ W.M. Lemmon Cardiac Needle Holder TC Long combines precision engineering, tungsten carbide technology, ergonomic design, and durable materials to deliver dependable needle control for advanced surgical applications.
