Crile-Wood T/C (DeBakey) Needle Holder

The Crile-Wood Tungsten Carbide (T/C) (DeBakey) Needle Holder is a precision surgical instrument designed for secure needle control during delicate suturing procedures involving vascular, cardiovascular, plastic, reconstructive, and general soft tissue surgery. Combining the proven Crile-Wood design with tungsten carbide (T/C) jaw inserts, this needle holder offers enhanced grip, improved wear resistance, and long-term durability. It is commonly referred to as Crile-Wood DeBakey Needle Holder, Crile-Wood TC Needle Holder, DeBakey Needle Driver, and Microvascular Needle Holder.

The instrument features finely serrated tungsten carbide inserts that provide a firm, non-slip grip on surgical needles while minimizing needle rotation during suturing. The slim jaws and delicate profile allow precise manipulation in confined surgical fields, making it particularly suitable for vascular anastomosis, cardiovascular procedures, microsurgical-assisted techniques, plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, and fine soft tissue repair. A ratchet locking mechanism ensures stable needle fixation, while ergonomically balanced ring handles provide excellent tactile feedback and precise control.

Crile-Wood T/C (DeBakey) Needle Holders are widely used during vascular reconstruction, arterial and venous repair, cardiovascular surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, microsurgical tissue approximation, peripheral vascular surgery, and other operations requiring accurate needle handling. They are commonly available in multiple lengths and jaw configurations to accommodate different surgical techniques and suture sizes.

The instrument is typically manufactured from premium surgical stainless steel with tungsten carbide jaw inserts and a corrosion-resistant satin or matte finish to reduce operating room glare. It is reusable and intended for repeated cleaning and sterilization according to established hospital sterilization protocols.
