The Wangensteen Needle Holders Serration Pitch 270mm Tungsten Carbide Surgical Needle Holders is a high-performance surgical instrument engineered to provide exceptional control during suturing and needle manipulation in general and specialized surgical procedures. Its extended 270 mm (27 cm) length makes it particularly suitable for deep operative fields, allowing surgeons to access difficult anatomical areas while maintaining excellent precision and control. The instrument is widely used in general surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, and other procedures requiring dependable needle handling.
The jaws are fitted with tungsten carbide (TC) inserts, significantly enhancing grip strength, wear resistance, and instrument longevity compared to conventional stainless steel jaws. The precision serration pitch provides a secure hold on surgical needles, minimizing rotation and slippage during suturing while helping preserve the integrity of the needle. This combination ensures accurate suture placement and improved efficiency throughout the procedure.
The long, slender design provides superior reach without compromising balance or maneuverability. Ergonomic finger-ring handles offer a comfortable grip and reduce hand fatigue during prolonged operations, while the precision ratchet locking mechanism enables surgeons to maintain consistent clamping pressure for secure needle control.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with tungsten carbide inserts, the Wangensteen Needle Holder offers exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and long-term durability. The satin finish reduces glare under operating room lighting, improving visibility during delicate surgical procedures. Designed for repeated professional use, the instrument is fully reusable and compatible with standard autoclave sterilization procedures, making it a reliable choice for hospitals, surgical centers, and specialty clinics.
Trusted by surgeons worldwide, the Wangensteen Needle Holder Serration Pitch 270 mm Tungsten Carbide combines precision engineering, superior gripping performance, ergonomic handling, and durable construction to deliver outstanding results in demanding surgical environments.
