Heaney Needle Holder: Secure Suturing for Gynecological Surgery

The Heaney Needle Holder from Adas Instruments is a heavy-duty, specialized instrument designed for deep pelvic surgery. Crafted from Premium German Stainless Steel, this needle driver features distinctive curved jaws with cross-serrations, providing a secure grip on heavy needles during procedures such as vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair.

This instrument is specifically designed to excel in various surgical procedures, including Curved Needle Driver applications and critical Gynecological Needle Holder tasks. Its curved design improves visibility and access in deep cavities, utilizing our high-quality medical-grade alloy.

Advanced Surgical Grade Construction

Our Heaney Needle Holder is engineered for durability and strength. The curved jaws are essential for maneuvering in the vaginal canal and pelvic cavity where straight instruments cannot reach. The cross-hatch serrations ensure that heavy suture needles do not slip or rotate during tissue approximation. Each tool undergoes rigorous quality checks to meet global regulatory standards.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Perform ultrasonic cleaning immediately after use to remove debris from the deep serrations and box lock.
• Sterilization: Fully autoclavable. Recommended cycle: 134°C (273°F).
• Lubrication: Regularly apply surgical-grade lubricant to the hinge to ensure smooth opening and closing action.
• Inspection: Periodically check the jaw alignment and serration wear to maintain a secure grip.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why are the jaws curved on the Heaney Needle Holder?
A: The curvature allows the surgeon to place sutures in deep, confined spaces like the vaginal vault or pelvic cavity with better visibility and ergonomics than a straight needle holder.

Q: Is this needle holder suitable for delicate plastic surgery?
A: No, the Heaney is a robust instrument designed for heavier needles and tissues in gynecology. For delicate plastic surgery, we recommend the Crile-Wood or Webster Needle Holder.

Q: Does it have Tungsten Carbide inserts?
A: This standard model features durable stainless steel serrations. However, we can manufacture a TC version (with gold handles) upon request for extended durability.
