Product Description

Firstly, these instruments possess serrated, ratcheted jaws that securely grip surgical needles, preventing slippage during suturing.

Secondly, Kilner Needle Holders feature scissor-like handles, facilitating easy one-handed manipulation and reducing hand fatigue during surgical procedures.

These models include a locking mechanism that the user can engage to keep the jaws closed when not in use, ensuring a constant grip on the needle.

Kilner Needle Holders typically consist of high-quality materials like stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.

They are available in various lengths to suit specific surgical needs. Shorter ones are used for precise work, while longer ones are suitable for general surgical applications.

Some advanced models may feature tungsten carbide inserts at the tip of the jaws, enhancing their ability to grip surgical needles securely.

The design of these needle holders enables them to be autoclavable, enabling users to sterilise and reuse them, which contributes to a sterile surgical environment and minimises medical waste.
