Conodent Adson Needle Holder 170 mm

Description

The Adson Needle Holder (170 mm) is a specialized, surgical-grade instrument designed for precise gripping, manipulation, and guidance of fine suture needles during delicate oral, plastic, maxillofacial, and soft-tissue procedures. Engineered with a slim, tapered working tip and a multi-stage ratcheted locking mechanism, it gives clinicians exceptional control when operating in restricted anatomic spaces or placing fine suture threads.

Key Clinical Applications

• Delicate Soft-Tissue Closure: Ideal for suturing delicate mucosal flaps, gingival margins, and facial skin layers requiring high aesthetic precision.

• Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Provides access to restricted anterior and posterior oral sites during flap reflection closure, periodontal surgery, and biopsy closure.

• Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Facilitates fine micro-suturing with minimal risk of needle distortion or tissue trauma.

• Periodontal & Implantology Protocols: Preferred for securing delicate soft-tissue grafts and tension-free flap closures (suited for fine 4-0, 5-0, and 6-0 suture sizes).

Technical Specifications

Detailed Functional & Design Features

1. Fine Micro-Serrated Jaws

The short, tapered jaw profile features micro-serrations designed to cradle fine curved needles securely. This prevents needle rotation, rolling, or slipping during passage through soft mucosal or cutaneous tissues without damaging the fine suture material.

2. Multi-Stage Ratchet Locking System

Integrated interlocking ratchet teeth near the finger rings allow the clinician to clamp needles securely at incremental tension levels. This maintains reliable, hands-free needle holding and reduces finger fatigue during repetitive suturing.

3. Ergonomic 170 mm Slender Design

The 170 mm length offers an ideal balance between maneuverability and extended reach, allowing delicate rotational control while keeping the clinician’s hand from obstructing line-of-sight access.

4. Corrosion-Resistant Surgical Construction

Forged from premium biocompatible surgical stainless steel, this instrument resists corrosion, pitting, and joint wear through repeated ultrasonic cleaning and high-temperature autoclave sterilization cycles.
