Mathieu 5.5" Needle Holder Back Action Angled Tip

Mathieu Needle Holder 5.5" – Back-Action with Angled Tip (Stainless Steel)

A precision surgical, dental instrument ideal for suturing in dental, oral, or microsurgical procedures. This 5.5" (approx. 14 cm) Mathieu needle holder combines a back-action spring handle, an angled tip design, and reliable locking mechanism to enable fine needle control in confined spaces. Built from surgical stainless steel, it is durable, corrosion-resistant, and fully autoclavable for repeated clinical use.

Key Features

• Length: 5.5" / ~14 cm
  Balances reach and control—well suited for intraoral suturing in dental surgery.

• Back-Action / Spring Handle Design
  Rather than finger rings, it uses a spring-loaded plier grip. This design provides smoother opening and easier one-hand control, especially in tight operative fields.

• Angled Tip
  The jaws are offset or angled (e.g. slight curve or canted tip) to enhance access in posterior or deep areas, improving visibility and reducing obstruction.

• Ratchet or Locking Mechanism
  A built-in toothed ratchet holds the jaws in place when gripping a needle, freeing the hand and improving stability during suturing.

• Serrated or Textured Jaws
  The holding surfaces are cross-hatched or serrated to grip the needle securely without slipping or rotating.

• Stainless Steel Construction
  Fabricated from high-grade, surgical stainless steel to resist corrosion, preserve alignment, and endure repeated sterilization.

• Low-Profile Jaw Design
  Slim, compact jaw bodies reduce bulk in confined spaces while maintaining holding strength.

• Autoclavable & Reusable
  Designed to withstand routine sterilization cycles without loss of accuracy or spring tension.

Applications

• Suturing in oral surgical procedures (e.g. gum flaps, implants, extractions)

• Soft-tissue closure in periodontal, implant, and mucogingival surgeries

• Use in dental, ENT, or maxillofacial microsurgery where precise control is needed

• Procedures requiring needle placement in restricted or angled anatomical zones

Ideal For

• Oral surgeons, periodontists, and surgical dentists

• Clinics or practices performing frequent suturing in small or deep operative fields

• Dental teaching and training environments

• Surgeons needing a reliable, angled instrument with ergonomic handling
