Jaboma T.C. Needle Holder, 18cm — Overview

The Jaboma T.C. Needle Holder (S27-205-20) is an 18cm needle holder with tungsten carbide (T.C.) jaw inserts, used for suturing during maxillofacial surgery, offering the enhanced grip durability tungsten carbide provides over plain stainless steel jaws.

Tungsten Carbide Jaw Inserts

Tungsten carbide is significantly harder than the stainless steel used for the instrument's body, giving the jaw surface a longer-lasting, more precise grip on suture needles across repeated use than a plain steel jaw would maintain, since standard steel jaws wear and lose grip precision more quickly under the repetitive, high-friction contact of needle driving — the same rationale behind the T.C. inserts on the Corwin-Hegar wire-twisting forcep elsewhere in this range.

Clinical Use

This needle holder is used throughout maxillofacial surgery for suturing during closure and tissue repair, particularly valued by surgeons doing high volumes of suturing who want the durability and precision T.C. jaws provide over a working lifetime.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with tungsten carbide jaw inserts, hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. The tungsten carbide jaw inserts should be inspected for wear or chipping during routine checks, since jaw condition directly affects needle-driving precision.
