Description

Product Overview

The Hu Friedy Crile-Wood Needle Holder 5″ is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern surgical practice, offering a blend of precision engineering, high‑quality materials, and ergonomic design. Crafted from surgical‑grade stainless steel, the instrument provides exceptional strength while maintaining a lightweight profile that reduces hand fatigue during lengthy procedures.

The holder’s 5‑inch length strikes an optimal balance between reach and control, allowing surgeons to maneuver in confined spaces without sacrificing tactile feedback. Detailed specifications include a package dimension of 7.5 x 3.2 x 0.3 inches and a weight of just 1.6 ounces, making it easy to store and transport while still providing the robustness required for demanding surgical tasks. The instrument is part of Hu Friedy’s renowned Crile‑Wood line, a series celebrated for its durability, precision, and consistent performance across a variety of surgical specialties.

Usage

Designed for general use with sutures ranging from 3‑0 to 6‑0, this needle holder excels in a wide array of procedures, including vascular, gastrointestinal, and orthopedic surgeries. Its ergonomic handle allows for a comfortable grip, enabling surgeons to apply the necessary force with minimal effort while maintaining fine motor control. The tungsten carbide beaks provide a secure hold on needles of various diameters, reducing the risk of slippage and ensuring accurate placement of sutures. Whether performing delicate microsurgical techniques or more robust tissue approximation, the holder’s balanced weight distribution facilitates smooth needle passage through tissue planes, enhancing overall procedural efficiency. The instrument is also compatible with standard sterilization protocols, including autoclave cycles, ensuring that it can be safely reused without degradation of performance. In addition to its primary role in suturing, the holder can be employed for tissue manipulation, vessel ligation, and other tasks that require precise instrument handling, making it a versatile addition to any surgical tray.
