Crile Murray Needle Holders Serrated Jaws, General Surgery Needle Holders

Crile Murray Needle Holders are specialized surgical instruments used to hold and guide needles during suturing. Designed for general surgery applications, these needle holders help surgeons maintain control of a needle while passing it through tissue during wound closure and other procedures requiring sutures.

The serrated jaws provide a textured gripping surface that helps secure the needle during handling. Proper needle control is important for consistent suturing technique and accurate placement.

Serrated Jaw Design

The serrated jaws are designed to improve grip on the needle and help reduce unwanted movement while the instrument is in use. This gripping surface supports controlled handling during needle positioning and passage through tissue.

The exact jaw pattern, tip dimensions, and internal gripping configuration can vary by model. Buyers should confirm these details with the manufacturer when selecting an instrument for a particular needle type or surgical technique.

Applications in General Surgery

Crile Murray needle holders are intended for suturing tasks in general surgical settings. Needle holders are commonly used during wound closure and other procedures that require controlled positioning of surgical needles.

The appropriate instrument depends on needle size, needle curvature, suture material, tissue requirements, and the surgeon's preferred technique. This product should be selected according to its confirmed specifications and intended use.

Handling and Instrument Selection

When choosing a needle holder, consider overall length, jaw design, grip pattern, handle configuration, and locking mechanism. A suitable instrument should provide controlled needle handling and function properly throughout the intended procedure.

The supplied product title identifies the Crile Murray pattern and serrated jaws but does not specify the overall length, material, tip dimensions, or ratchet configuration. Confirm these specifications before ordering to ensure the instrument meets clinical requirements.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Inspect the instrument before use for jaw alignment, damaged serrations, worn gripping surfaces, and proper movement. If the model includes a locking mechanism, verify that it engages and releases correctly.

Follow the manufacturer's validated instructions for cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, lubrication where applicable, and storage. Confirm the material, reusable status, and approved reprocessing methods with the supplier before clinical use.

Professional Use

Crile Murray Needle Holders are intended for trained healthcare professionals working in surgical environments. Correct instrument selection, handling, and maintenance help support reliable performance during suturing procedures. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable facility protocols.
