Sklar's Surgi-OR Crile-Wood needle holder is used to hold and guide small to medium size needles and suture materials. The Crile-Wood has a gently tapered, blunt tip and is generally more delicate than the Mayo-Hegar but less delicate than Webster, Halsey, or DeBakey. The ratcheted finger ring handle aids in securing needles for both continuous and interrupted closures. This product is straight with cross-serrated tipsand a narrow jaw. Hand-crafted in Pakistan, Surgi-OR mid-grade instruments are forged from the highest quality Japanese steel and provide reliable instrumentation for the operating room and other surgical centers. Surgi-OR instruments are a cost-effective line of instruments that must meet Sklar's quality standards.
