Our Troutman Needle Holder features fine, curved jaws and is crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel.
- Fine, Curved Jaws: These delicate jaws precisely grasp suture needles, allowing for smooth navigation through delicate corneal tissues. The curved profile offers exceptional visibility and control during suturing, minimizing accidental needle drag or tissue manipulation.
- Serrated Round Handles: The atraumatic serrations on the round handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, even during extended procedures. This reduces hand fatigue and allows for precise manipulation, even with gloved hands.
- Spring Assembly: The integrated spring assembly offers effortless control over the needle and suture tension. This translates to a smooth and efficient suturing experience.
- Expert Craftsmanship: Each Troutman Needle Holder undergoes a meticulous forging, milling, tempering, and polishing process. This ensures consistent quality, reliable performance, and a solid feel in your hand.
- Single-Use Convenience: Our single-use Troutman Needle Holders come sterilized with gamma irradiation, eliminating the need for separate sterilization procedures and saving valuable time and resources in the operating room.
