The 13-1/2" VATS Needle Holder with a 7mm Shaft and Heavy TC Jaws is a high-precision surgical instrument designed for use in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The 7mm shaft provides optimal access and maneuverability within the thoracic cavity, allowing for precise handling of sutures and needles in confined spaces. The heavy tungsten carbide (TC) jaws are specifically designed for superior grip and durability, providing a secure hold on needles and suturing materials while minimizing slippage.
