Halsey Needle Holder: Tungsten Carbide Precision for Fine Microsurgery
The Halsey Needle Holder is an essential tool for surgeons performing intricate reconstructive and aesthetic procedures. Measuring 13cm (5″) in length, it provides unparalleled surgical precision when handling delicate 5-0 to 7-0 sutures. At Adas Instruments, our manufacturing process integrates high-density Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts, which are vacuum-hardened to the jaws. This ensures a non-slip grip that protects fine needles from rotation or structural damage during closure.
Forged from elite German stainless steel, each Halsey holder features a specialized satin-matte finish to reduce intraoperative glare. The delicate shafts and fine tips allow for effortless access into tight surgical fields, while the ergonomic finger ring handles with a secure ratchet lock provide steady control. To ensure patient safety and longevity, every instrument is ultrasonically cleaned and passivated, providing superior resistance to the rigors of repeated sterilization. Our commitment to quality helps ensure maximum longevity for your surgical tray.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the integrity of the Tungsten Carbide surfaces, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners. Immediately after use, clean with a neutral pH enzymatic solution to prevent bio-burden buildup. Always sterilize in the open or unlocked position to allow full steam penetration. Each instrument is supplied in a protective pack to prevent damage during transit. Adas Instruments continues to provide reliable shipping through world-class couriers like DHL and FedEx, ensuring your facility is always equipped with the finest tools.

People Also Ask
What is the difference between smooth and serrated Halsey needle holders?
Smooth jaws are ideal for very fine needles (7-0 or smaller) to prevent marking the needle, while serrated jaws provide extra grip for slightly larger needles (5-0 to 6-0).
Why is Tungsten Carbide (TC) preferred?
TC is much harder than standard stainless steel, meaning the jaws will not wear down as quickly and the needle grip remains sharp for much longer.
Is there a left-handed version available?
Yes, we offer both standard and left-handed Halsey needle holders to accommodate all surgical preferences.
