The Plastic Surgery 8″ Crile-Wood Needle Holder – Straight “GG” is a high-quality surgical suturing instrument designed to provide superior precision, secure needle control, and ergonomic handling during advanced plastic surgery and reconstructive procedures. With an overall length of 8 inches (20.3 cm), this needle holder offers an excellent combination of extended reach and fine maneuverability, making it suitable for delicate suturing applications where accuracy and control are essential.

The Crile-Wood Needle Holder is a widely preferred instrument among plastic surgeons due to its refined jaw design and excellent handling characteristics. Compared with conventional needle holders, the Crile-Wood pattern features a slimmer profile that allows surgeons to manipulate fine surgical needles with greater precision. The Straight “GG” design provides direct access, improved visibility, and accurate needle positioning during delicate tissue approximation.

This instrument features precision-machined straight jaws designed for secure and controlled needle holding. The finely serrated gripping surface helps prevent needle rotation and slippage during suturing, allowing surgeons to achieve consistent needle placement and reliable wound closure. The straight jaw configuration is especially useful in procedures where direct alignment and clear visualization of the needle path are required.

The instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning, disinfection, and steam autoclave sterilization while maintaining smooth mechanical function, accurate jaw alignment, and reliable locking performance. Its satin finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting, improving visibility during precision surgical procedures.

The ergonomic finger ring handles provide a comfortable and balanced grip, allowing surgeons to maintain excellent control throughout lengthy operations. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism securely holds needles while allowing controlled adjustment of gripping pressure. Multiple locking positions make the instrument compatible with different needle sizes and suture materials commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

The 8-inch length provides additional working reach compared with smaller Crile-Wood models, making it suitable for procedures involving deeper tissue layers while maintaining the precision required for delicate suturing. This versatile instrument is commonly used in facelift surgery, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, breast reconstruction, breast surgery, scar revision, dermatologic surgery, hand surgery, facial reconstruction, and complex soft tissue closure.

The Plastic Surgery 8″ Crile-Wood Needle Holder – Straight “GG” is trusted by plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, reconstructive specialists, and dermatologic surgeons for its precision craftsmanship, ergonomic design, and reliable surgical performance.
