Baumgartner needle holder
The image shows a Baumgartner needle holder, a surgical instrument measuring 145 mm (5-3/4 inches) in length.
It features cross-serrated jaws (illustrated in the small diagram at the top right), which provide a strong, slip-resistant grip on surgical needles, ensuring stability during suturing.
The instrument is designed with ring handles and a ratchet locking mechanism near the handles, allowing the surgeon to maintain firm needle control without constant manual pressure.
Baumgartner needle holders are widely used in general surgery, dental procedures, and minor surgical applications, where a combination of strength and precision is required.
Their slightly longer length offers improved reach, making them suitable for a range of suturing tasks.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the instrument is durable, corrosion-resistant, and reusable after proper sterilization. Its robust design makes it a staple in many surgical kits.
