Mathieu fine needle holders are a precision surgical instrument for microsurgery. They were designed for use in dentistry and oral surgery.
- Fine, slender, serrated jaws
- Ergonomic handles
- Ratchet style lock
- Tungsten carbide jaws
Ring handles are replaced with ergonomic, spring-style handles. The ratchet lock allows the operator to have a light touch with a secure hold for manipulating a suture needle without having to apply constant pressure on the handles. The design of the locking mechanism reduces hand fatigue. Conventional needle holders have ring handles or spring handles.
Instead of finger rings or traditional spring handles, Mathieu Needle Holders have curved and elongated handles that are designed to be held between the thumb and ring finger. This design provides a more ergonomic grip and better control over the instrument. Mathieu needle holders also have a delicate and slender tip with fine serrations the ensure a firm grip on the suture needle.
Mathieu Needle holders are lighter and slenderer than needle holders like the Mayo-Hegar or Olsen-Hegar needle holders. They are suitable for delicate microsurgical procedures where fine and precise needle control is crucial. Our Mathieu Fine Needle Holders are 14 cm (5.5") long and have tungsten carbide inserts, which improve the usable life of the surgical instrument.
They are manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel or premium German steel, both of which are suitable for autoclaving or chemical sterilization. Always clean your surgical instruments promptly after you use them. Proper cleaning lengthens the usable lifespan of surgical instruments.
