Needle Holder – Types, Uses

A needle holder is one of the most essential surgical instruments used in suturing during almost every surgical procedure. Whether it’s general, vascular, orthopedic, or plastic surgery, needle holders give surgeons the precision and control required for accurate suturing.

At Salwan Surgicare, we manufacture and supply premium-quality needle holders designed to meet the highest medical standards. Each instrument is made from Grade 410 & 420 stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. Selected models feature tungsten carbide (TC) inserts to provide extra durability, a firmer grip, and extended instrument life.

• Vascular suturing in delicate surgeries.
• Orthopedic and plastic surgery for fine-tissue suturing.
• Dental procedures (Mathieu needle holder).
