Ryder Needle Holder 18 cm
The Ryder Needle Holder is a fine-tip ring-handle box-lock instrument used to drive narrow curved needles through delicate soft tissue. Its slim tapered jaws sit on an extended 18 cm shank, reaching the deepest tuberosity, retromolar, and pharyngeal-flap sites where shorter bodies leave the operator's hand crowded against the opposite cheek. Cross-serrated stainless jaws grip the suture needle, and a ratcheted box lock holds it at the chosen angle under load. Equate Instruments supplies the needle holder in fully autoclavable stainless steel, suitable for routine steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.

Ryder Needle Holder 15 cm TC Gold
The Ryder Needle Holder 15 cm is a slim ratchet-locking needle driver built for precision suturing. The narrow tungsten-carbide (TC) inlaid jaws carry a fine cross-serrated pattern that grips small curved needles firmly without crushing them, making the instrument well suited to fine suture sizes and delicate intraoral work. The 15 cm length gives the operator more working reach than a 13 cm Mayo-Hegar, while the narrow profile keeps line of sight clear at the needle tip. Gold-anodised finger rings identify the TC variant. Fabricated from stainless steel with bonded TC inserts, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile.

Lichtenberg Needle Holder - Straight 17 cm with TC Jaws
The Lichtenberg Needle Holder is a fine-jawed spring-handled suturing instrument sized for dental sutures in the 2-0 to 4-0 range. The straight 17 cm shaft delivers excellent reach to posterior sites while the narrow jaws fit neatly between adjacent teeth and the tongue, clearing the operator's line of sight during delicate flap closure. Tungsten-carbide inserts bonded into the working faces hold the needle without slippage and extend the grip life of the instrument compared with plain stainless jaws. The spring-open handle and integrated ratchet lock in several positions, giving the operator single-hand control over needle angulation. Machined by Equate Instruments from autoclavable stainless steel with gold-anodised finger rings for easy identification on the tray. Supplied non-sterile.

Lichtenberg Needle Holder - Curved 17 cm with TC Jaws
The Curved Lichtenberg Needle Holder is a fine-jawed spring-handled suturing instrument with a curved working tip that lets the operator reach under flaps and around anatomical obstructions without rotating the handle. The narrow profile fits neatly between adjacent teeth during suture placement in the posterior arch and on the palatal side of maxillary teeth. Tungsten-carbide inserts bonded into the curved jaws grip the needle without slippage and resist wear through repeated autoclave cycles. The spring-open handle with integrated ratchet allows single-hand adjustment of needle angulation, while the gold-anodised finger rings identify the tungsten-carbide variant on the tray. Manufactured by Equate Instruments from autoclavable surgical stainless steel and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.
