DeBakey needle pulling forceps 8" straight 1.5mm TC serrated jaws flat handle

Controlled Needle Handling for Open and Fine Surgical Work

DeBakey needle pulling forceps are designed for grasping and drawing surgical needles during tissue repair and closure. This 8-inch straight pattern provides useful reach while maintaining a direct line of handling, and the 1.5 mm tungsten carbide serrated jaws support a secure hold on the needle. The flat handle offers a familiar grasping surface for controlled manipulation throughout the task. Suitable for professional workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, these forceps can support precise needle handling where access, visibility, and steady instrument control matter. Their focused design helps integrate needle management into open surgical technique without adding unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases

• Grasping and pulling surgical needles during closure and tissue repair in General Surgery.
• Supporting controlled needle handling in Neurosurgery where a straight instrument can provide direct access along the working field.
• Using the 8-inch length to reach the operative site while keeping the hand clear of the immediate field.
• Applying the serrated jaws to maintain contact with a needle during drawing, repositioning, or passage.
• Using the flat handle for steady manual manipulation during repeated needle-handling tasks.
