At the end of a surgical procedure, a slender needle holder can be a useful alternative to a broader suturing instrument. The Crile–Murray pattern is known for its narrow working end, which brings less bulk close to the stitch. This 6.1 in (15.5 cm) version offers a classic option for handling suturing needles during oral and periodontal closures.
Finger-ring handles give the clinician familiar control over opening and closing the jaws, while the ratchet allows the needle to be held without continuous squeezing. With its stainless steel construction and modest overall length, this is an uncomplicated instrument for teams who value traditional ring-handle technique and a relatively slim jaw profile.
Its defining advantage is the slender Crile–Murray working end. When a heavier jaw would feel crowded around the closure, the slim profile offers another way to approach and orient the needle without giving up the familiar feel of ring handles and a ratchet.
