The OB/GYN 7 1/2″ W.M. Lemmon Cardiac Needle Holder is a specialized surgical instrument designed for controlled handling and positioning of surgical needles during compatible procedures. It features a 7 1/2-inch overall length, a long configuration, and a TC working surface.
The extended profile provides useful reach while allowing controlled manual handling. The needle-holding jaws are designed to provide a stable grip during needle manipulation and suturing applications where this configuration is appropriate.
Design and Configuration
The needle holder features an overall length of 7 1/2 inches with a long configuration. The TC designation identifies the supplied working-jaw configuration.
The handle is designed for controlled manual operation, while the jaws should provide secure needle engagement and release. Before use, inspect the jaws and locking mechanism for proper alignment and smooth operation.
Working-End Characteristics
The TC working jaws provide a defined gripping surface intended for controlled needle handling. The long configuration provides additional reach while maintaining manual control.
The jaws should close evenly and maintain proper alignment. Before use, inspect the working surfaces for wear, deformation, corrosion, or other damage that could affect needle control.
Surgical Applications
The OB/GYN 7 1/2″ W.M. Lemmon Cardiac Needle Holder may be used for compatible suturing and needle-handling applications, including procedures requiring an extended needle holder configuration.
Specific clinical application and instrument selection should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the procedure and established surgical protocols.
Handling and Use Considerations
The 7 1/2-inch length provides extended reach while the long configuration supports controlled positioning. The needle holder should be operated smoothly without excessive force.
Before use, verify that the jaws close correctly, the locking mechanism functions properly, and the working surfaces are clean and undamaged. Avoid using the instrument if the jaws fail to maintain proper alignment or grip.
Cleaning and Instrument Care
Clean the needle holder promptly after use according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-cleaning procedure. Pay particular attention to the jaws, hinge, ratchet or locking mechanism, and other areas where residual material may accumulate.
After cleaning, inspect the TC working surfaces for wear, corrosion, deformation, or other visible damage. Confirm smooth mechanical operation before sterilization and reuse.
Sterilization and Inspection
Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol. Before each use, inspect the instrument for cleanliness, corrosion, cracks, jaw deformation, loose components, and restricted movement.
Any instrument showing compromised structural integrity or functionality should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional procedures.
