Suture & Needle Holder Guide
Golden rule: match the needle holder jaw to the needle size. Heavy needles damage fine tungsten carbide (TC) inserts; fine needles slip in heavy jaws. This product's recommended suture sizes are listed in the Description tab.
| Needle holder | Suture sizes | Best for |
| Mayo-Hegar | 2/0 – 4/0 | Heavy sutures, tissue under tension |
| Mathieu / Mathieu Olsen | 3/0 – 5/0 | Fast palm-grip suturing, extractions |
| Lichtenberg | 3/0 – 5/0 | Classic dental pattern, long reach |
| Crile-Wood | 3/0 – 6/0 | Versatile all-rounder |
| Crile Ryde / Fine Swedish | 4/0 – 6/0 | Periodontal & implant suturing |
| Castroviejo Micro | 5/0 – 8/0 | Microsurgery, grafts, esthetic zone |
Grip the needle correctly
Clamp about two-thirds from the tip — never at the tip or the swage.
Protect the TC jaws
Never clamp suture thread in the jaws — it frays the thread and wears the insert pattern.
Approximate, don't strangulate
Wound edges should just touch; blanching means the suture is too tight.
