Kilner needle holder
The image shows a Kilner needle holder, a surgical instrument measuring 135 mm (5-1/4 inches) in length.
It features cross-serrated jaws (illustrated in the diagram at the top right), designed to provide a firm, non-slip grip on surgical needles, ensuring stability and precision during suturing.
The instrument includes finger ring handles for enhanced control and a ratchet locking mechanism near the handles, which allows the surgeon to maintain needle positioning securely without continuous pressure.
Kilner needle holders are commonly used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, and other delicate surgical applications.
Their medium length and fine jaws make them particularly useful for precise suturing in smaller or confined operative areas.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the Kilner needle holder is durable, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for repeated sterilization.
Its ergonomic design ensures both precision and comfort during extended use.
