T/C Mathieu Needle Holder 5.5″ – Tungsten Carbide Insert, Stainless Steel

A high-precision surgical instrument designed for suturing in dental, oral surgery, microsurgical, or delicate tissue procedures. This 5.5-inch Mathieu needle holder features tungsten carbide (T/C) reinforced jaw inserts to maintain grip and longevity, combined with a spring or plier style locking configuration for refined control in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Tungsten Carbide Insert Jaws
  The working jaws incorporate hard carbide tips to resist wear, maintain sharpness, and grip needles firmly without slipping.

• Stainless Steel Body
  Fabricated from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance, durability, and long life through repeated use and sterilization.
  

• 5.5-Inch Length
  Ideal for balancing reach and control, this size is frequently used in intraoral and periodontal surgical settings.

• Spring / Plier Style Mathieu Design
  The spring mechanism allows for a tweezers-like grip (opening and closing by finger pressure), improving maneuverability in confined or delicate operations.
  

• Locking Ratchet Mechanism
  A built-in ratchet near the handle locks the jaws securely once the needle is grasped, preventing slipping or needle rotation during suturing.
  

• Textured / Serrated Jaw Surfaces
  The jaws are cross–serrated or textured to increase friction and reduce needle slippage.
  

• Low-Profile Jaw Construction
  Slim, compact jaws allow better access and visualization in tight or deep surgical fields.

• Autoclavable & Reusable
  Built to withstand repeated sterilization cycles without losing alignment or mechanical function.
