Needle Holder: Ideal for grasping and manipulating suture needle during suturing
Posted by OSUNG Dental USA on
Dentists use Needle Holders to hold a dental needle in place. The Needle Holder is a device that fits over the end of a needle. They are also available in different shapes, such as curved or straight. It is made of stainless steel for durability and easy sterilization. The design of the needle holder allows for a comfortable grip, making it easier to use.
Types of Needle Holders:
There are different types of Needle holders. These are:
1. Needle Holder, NH160
2. Needle Holder, Halsey, Tungsten Carbide 130 mm
3. Needle Holder, Mayo Vascular, Tungsten Carbide 180 mm
4. Needle Holder, Mathieu, Straight, Tungsten Carbide 130 mm
5. Needle Holder, Mayo Heger, Tungsten Carbide 160 mm, NH160TC
6. Needle Holder, Crile-Wood, Tungsten Carbide, 160 mm, NHC150TC
Composition of a Needle Holder:
The four main parts of a Needle Holder are the jaws, shanks, handles, and tips. The handles can be either straight or curved, depending on the type of needle holder. Some types of needle holders have a ratcheting mechanism that secures the needle in place once it has been inserted into the jaws. The shank is the part of the needle holder that attaches to the jaws.
The handle of the needle holder should be comfortable to hold and should not slip easily out of the user's hand. Some needle holders also come with a built-in thread cutter, which can be a handy feature to have.
What is a Needle Holder's use?
A Needle Holder is a medical instrument used by surgeons, nurses, and other medical professionals to hold a needle steady during suturing. It is also known as a needle clamp. The needle holder has two arms, each of which has a clamping mechanism. The arms are squeezed together to close the clamps around the needle, which then holds the needle steady during suturing.
The needle holder is also commonly used to remove surgical stitches after surgery. The arms of the holder are opened up, and the stitches are pulled out one at a time.
The benefits of using a Needle Holder:
There are many benefits to using a Needle Holder when performing needle-related tasks. Here are some important benefits:
- A Needle Holder improves accuracy and dexterity since the fingers are not used to hold the needle.
- It protects the hands from accidental needle sticks and keeps them clean.
- The Needle Holder can also help to control the depth of penetration when inserting needles into the tissue, which helps to minimize injury to surrounding cells and tissues.
- A Needle Holder provides a secure and comfortable grip for the user. This is especially important when working with needles that are long or sharp.
- A Needle Holder helps to create a more stable platform, preventing the needle from wobbling as it is inserted into the patient’s mouth.
- A Needle Holder allows for greater control over the insertion and withdrawal of needles, improving accuracy and minimizing pain for the patient.
- Needle Holders allow for more delicate tissue handling, which can be beneficial when working with small or intricate tissues.
- The fine tips of some Needle Holders can help to increase precision when performing tasks such as suturing or vessel ligation.
- The use of a Needle Holder can help streamline many procedures, resulting in enhanced productivity and efficiency.
How to use a Needle Holder?
There are some tips on how to use the Needle Holder:
- First, select the Needle Holder that is best suited for the size of the needle you are using.
- Next, open the jaws of the Needle Holder by gripping the handle and squeezing.
- Then, insert the needle into the jaw of the Needle Holder and release the grip on the handle so that the jaws close around the needle.
- Once you've done this, you can adjust your grip on the handle to get a comfortable grip for sewing.
- Finally, when you're finished with your work, simply remove the needle.
Tips for choosing the right Needle Holder:
There are a few key things to keep in mind when choosing a Needle Holder.
- First and foremost, you need to pick a Needle Holder that is specifically designed for the type of needles you will be using.
- Secondly, make sure that the length and size of the handle are comfortable for you to grip. If you are doing a lot of delicate work, you may want to consider getting a needle holder with a fine point.
- Pay attention to the locking mechanism on the Needle Holder as well-some have simple screws, while others have more complex designs. Make sure that whatever style you choose is easy for you to use and won't slip or come undone during use.
- Pay attention to the construction of the Needle Holder. Some are made from stainless steel or other materials that offer superior durability, while others may be less expensive but more likely to break or wear down over time.
