Foster Gillies Needle Holder Tungsten Carbide

Foster Gillies Needle Holder Tungsten Carbide for Plastic Surgery and Ophthalmic Wound Closure Wound closure in plastic surgery requires exact needle control at 5-0 and finer suture diameters. The cross-serrated TC-tip jaw of the foster gillies needle holder maintains needle position without rotation, consistent with standard reconstructive suturing protocol for superficial tissue layers.TC-tip inserts maintain jaw surface hardness through repeated autoclave cycles by retaining tungsten carbide grain structure that standard steel cannot match. Material benchmarks confirm this construction extends functional jaw life significantly for high-volume OR reprocessing.
