Some suturing techniques call for a broader gripping end rather than a fine, narrow tip. This 17 cm Mathieu needle holder has wide tungsten carbide gripping jaws, giving the clinician a larger contact profile for holding and guiding a surgical needle.
The spring-style handles and locking catch preserve the familiar Mathieu opening and closing action. With a longer overall length and a wider jaw configuration, this reusable holder is an option for dental and oral surgical closure when more jaw contact is preferred.
A wider jaw offers a different feel when grasping a needle, especially if the clinician prefers more contact at the working end. The 17 cm length also keeps the hand farther from the immediate suture site without switching to a ring-handle instrument.
