Two curves distinguish this Crile-Wood pattern: the working jaws are curved, and the handles have a special S-shaped contour. The combination offers an alternative approach to a surgical needle and a different hand position from a conventional ring-handle holder.
At a catalog length of 5.9 in (15 cm), it pairs tungsten carbide gripping surfaces with finger rings and a locking ratchet. The unusual handle outline should not be mistaken for the only curved part of this needle holder.
Clinicians who are already comfortable with a curved Crile-Wood working end may prefer this special version for its additional S-shaped handle contour. It changes the handle geometry while retaining the familiar ring-and-ratchet closing mechanism.
