FAQs
What is a Halsey needle holder used for?
It holds and drives suture needles during routine intraoral closure. The shorter length gives better control in shallow working spaces than a full-size holder.
What do the tungsten carbide inserts add?
Tungsten carbide is much harder than stainless steel, so the jaw inserts grip the needle without wear and keep their bite through years of daily use and sterilisation. TC instruments cost more up front and last considerably longer.
What material is this instrument made from?
The body is Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel with tungsten carbide inserts set into the jaws, and it withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
Stocked alongside Mayo Hegar, Mathieu, Crile Wood and Castroviejo needle holders.
