NES-3073

13.5 cm
What is it? A 13.5cm needle holder built on the Kalt pattern, featuring serrated jaws for a firmer grip during suturing.
Why serrated rather than smooth? Unlike the smooth-jawed micro and Barraquer patterns built for delicate thread, the Kalt’s serrated jaw offers a more assertive hold, useful for heavier suture material or tissue that demands a firmer needle grip.
What sets the Kalt pattern apart? It’s a well-established design valued for its dependable, no-frills handling, favored by practitioners who want a straightforward needle holder without a locking mechanism or specialized tip geometry.
How does 13.5cm compare to other patterns here? It sits in the mid-to-longer range compared to the compact Barraquer-Troutman and micro holders, offering more reach for standard maxillofacial suturing tasks.
What’s it made from? Surgical-grade stainless steel, fully capable of withstanding repeated sterilization cycles and daily clinical handling.
Who reaches for this pattern? Practitioners who want a dependable, general-purpose needle holder with a secure serrated grip for routine suturing work, found among our maxillofacial surgery instruments collection.
