Suturing a wound after surgery is an important skill that needs specialized medical instruments. A needle holder is one of the many necessary surgical tools required by surgical practitioners and medical doctors to hold up and manipulate the needle during stitching. Along with this, there is a need for suture forceps which are precise tweezers structured to place stitches and suture scissors which carefully eliminate the sutures. New Med has a ready solution for these concerns with its state-of-the-art needle holders and precise suturing instruments. 


In this article, we will walk you through a complete guide to needle holders and suturing instruments available at New Med along with their distinctive types and functions. Continue reading to explore!

Needle Holders

Needle Holders Introduction and Guide

New Med is an avant-garde surgical company putting forward an extensive range of needle holders. Their collection is FDA-approved and follows manufacturing guidelines to transform your surgical practice in the best possible way.


Below are some of their top needle holders which are highly rated and frequently ordered all around the globe:

Mayo-Hegar Needle Holders

Mayo-Hegar needle holders are a top choice among surgeons and medical practitioners. These needle holders have a ratcheted handle which enables the surgeons to conveniently navigate their way through the surgery. They are designed with heavy serrated jaws to fasten up the grip over the needle. Additionally, they have a slight curve in their jaws to enable easy access to closeted regions. They are made from tungsten carbide and high-grade stainless steel to prevent corrosion and enhance the durability of the instrument. 

Crile-Wood Needle Holders

Crile-wood needle holders are often chosen for their remarkable durability and versatility. They are designed with a ratcheted lock mechanism which allows the surgeon to practice precise control over the needle during stitching. Crile-wood needle holders firmly grip the needle at an angle of 45 degrees, enabling the surgeons to access close areas of the body. As these needle holders are made of high-grade surgeon stainless steel, they can easily be made squeaky clean by sterilization. 

Mathieu Needle Holders

Mathieu needle holders have a serrated jaw to practice precise control. Most of them have palm-held handles which enables the surgeons to firmly grip the tool and exercise maximum control during the surgical procedure. They, too, use high-grade stainless steel and tungsten carbide to protect the tools from damage and increase longevity. 

Olsen-Hegar Needle Holders

Olsen-hegar needle holders have a dual mode of action which enables them to act like a scissor and a needle holder simultaneously. On one side, they have a serrated jaw for firmly gripping the needle and on the other side, they have a scissor structure to remove the sutures when needed. They are mostly used with sutures of grade 4-0 or with much finer stitches.

Castroviejo Needle Holders

Castroviejo needle holders are particularly manufactured for ophthalmic surgeries. They have a unique design with serrated jaws which allows the surgeons to manipulate the needles the way they like. The serrated jaws are structured in such a way that they hold the scissors at a 90-degree angle. To assist the surgeons and allow them to practice maximum control, Castroviejo needle holders are kept lightweight. 

Bozeman Needle Holders

Bozeman needle holders possess a cross-hatcheted surface and a non-slip texture which allows the surgeons to firmly grip the tool during surgical maneuvering. These needle holders are available in varying lengths, enabling the surgeons to choose what suits them the best. Overall the tool is designed with an S-shape which makes it a perfect instrument for surgeries related to gynaecology. To make them durable, we have constructed them with tungsten carbide and high-grade stainless steel. They have serrated jaws and are reusable, substantially cutting down the costs. 

Finochietto Needle Holders

Finochietto needle holders are specifically designed for OB/GYN and colorectal anastomosis, where they allow the practitioners to drive the needle and the holder through sensitive areas of the skin. They are built with firm angled jaws to allow easy manipulation. To keep the frame easy to manipulate, the tool is kept lightweight. 

Webster Needle Holders

For surgeries which require precise needle manipulation, webster needle holders can be employed. These are specifically curated for microvascular and microsurgeries of all kinds and systems. They have fine, pointed tips which make them ideal tools for manipulating fine needles during highly precise surgical procedures. To avoid accidental slipping during the manipulation, webster needle holders have a locking mechanism which allows practitioners to practice firm control over the needle. You can keep them maintained by actively autoclaving after use.

Suturing Instruments at New Med: Perfect Your Suturing Skills

At New Med, the production unit has launched a meticulously created collection of suturing instruments to curate an all-in-one package for practitioners looking for a suturing kit. 


Here are some of the most important tools used during suturing:

Suture Scissors

Suture scissors are one of the most sought-after suturing tools which allow surgeons to conveniently remove sutures. This set of scissors has a unique configuration as it has a tiny hook attached to the lower blade. This hook carefully lifts the stitch for precise cutting and removal, making the process convenient for the practitioner. While the upper blade has a sharp-acting tip for clean cutting. 


We have a wide array of suture scissors at our manufacturing facility: 


  • Littler Suture Scissors

  • Ceramic Cut Mayo Scissors

  • Suture-Wire Tungsten Carbide Scissors

Suture forceps

Designed with a tweezer-like construction, suture forceps are mostly used to manipulate the skin or tissues during the surgery. They also assist the practitioners in placing the stitches during the suturing process. Suture forceps do not have any ratchet lock mechanism. Most of them have a pointed tip which allows them to precisely practice firm grip over delicate tissues. 


We have a fine collection of suture forceps at our facility. Some of them are enlisted below:


  • Paufique Suture Forceps

  • Adson Micro Suture Forceps

  • Sauer Suture Forceps

  • Castroviejo Suture Tying Forceps
