NES-3083

12.5 cm
What is it? The Halsey Needle Holder, T.C Gold (NES-3083) is a 12.5cm instrument fitted with gold-coated tungsten carbide inserts, built for reliable needle control during general suturing work.
Why the Halsey pattern specifically? It’s one of the most widely recognized needle holder patterns, valued for its balanced proportions and dependable grip across a broad range of suturing tasks in maxillofacial and general surgical settings.
What do the gold T.C. inserts add? They extend the jaw’s cutting life significantly compared to plain stainless steel, holding a secure grip on the needle through far more suturing passes before showing wear.
How does 12.5cm compare to other patterns in this range? It’s a compact, easy-to-control length suited to detailed, close-in suturing work, similar in scale to the Boynton but with the added durability of carbide-reinforced jaws.
What’s the construction? A stainless steel body with gold T.C. inserts, fully autoclavable and built to withstand repeated sterilization cycles.
Who reaches for this pattern? Practitioners who want the classic, dependable Halsey handling feel with the added longevity that carbide inserts provide, found among our maxillofacial surgery instruments collection.
