Wangensteen needle holder 10 1/4" straight serrated TC jaws gold ring handle

Controlled Suture Handling with Extended Straight Reach

The Wangensteen needle holder is a 10 1/4-inch surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its straight profile supports a direct working approach, while the serrated tungsten carbide jaws provide a textured contact surface for controlled needle handling. The extended length can help maintain working distance when access or hand positioning is important. A ring handle supports familiar instrument manipulation throughout procedural workflows. Suitable for specialty-neutral use across General Surgery and Cardiovascular applications, it provides a practical option for organized, consistent suture placement without adding unnecessary design complexity.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding suture needles during closure tasks in General Surgery.
• Supporting controlled needle handling during cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Using the straight profile for direct approach and alignment at the operative site.
• Applying the serrated jaws to help maintain contact with the needle during manipulation.
• Using the 10 1/4-inch length when additional working distance is useful.
