Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Bozeman needle holder is a 10 1/2-inch surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its S-curved shanks provide an offset profile that can support access and line-of-sight management in varied operative fields, while the ring handle promotes familiar hand positioning and controlled manipulation. Straight serrated tungsten carbide jaws are suited to maintaining contact with the needle during placement and passage. This configuration can support cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows where dependable needle handling and reach are important to the task.
