Tungsten carbide, angled jaws
French Eye Needle Holder is handcrafted from German stainless steel and tungsten carbide inserts that provides control, precision and a dependable non-slip crosshatched surface. Designed for use with 1-0, 2-0, or 3-0 sutures, these fine needle drivers are used to firmly grasp the needle during fine suturing work. Available with gold-plated handles and at several lengths. Tungsten carbide needle holders provide unparalleled control while suturing. The precision-milled, pyramid-shaped teeth ensure a dependable, non-slip surface. Some needle holder styles are also available with smooth tungsten carbide jaws, designed to hold the smallest sutures in microsurgical and plastic surgery procedures. Tungsten carbide jaws are inherently more durable than stainless steel and clinicians will experience an extended service-life. These needle holders feature gold-plated handles.
