Jacobson LighTouch Curved Needle Holder – 6″ (150 mm) | 7¼” (185 mm) | 8½” (215 mm)

Jacobson LighTouch Needle Holder – Precision Microsurgical Instrument

The Jacobson LighTouch needle holder is a specialized microsurgical instrument that surgeons use for precise needle manipulation during delicate suturing procedures. The curved jaws provide excellent visibility and access to fine structures, while the lightweight LighTouch design reduces hand fatigue during extended procedures.

Unlike standard needle holders, the LighTouch series is engineered to be lighter and more responsive, which improves tactile feedback during microsurgery. The curved jaw configuration allows the surgeon to approach the needle at an angle without obstructing the view, making it suitable for ophthalmic, plastic, and reconstructive procedures.

Key Features of the Jacobson LighTouch Needle Holder

• Curved jaws for improved visibility and access to fine structures

• LighTouch lightweight design to reduce hand fatigue during extended use

• Ratchet locking mechanism for secure needle retention

• Available in three lengths: 6″ (150 mm), 7¼” (185 mm), and 8½” (215 mm)

• Premium surgical steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance

• Reusable and autoclavable for repeated clinical use

Medical Applications

Surgeons select the Jacobson LighTouch needle holder for microsurgery, ophthalmic surgery, plastic surgery, and other procedures requiring precise needle control. The shorter 6″ length suits superficial delicate work, while the 7¼” and 8½” lengths provide additional reach for deeper microsurgical sites.

Because microsurgical suturing demands high precision, the lightweight design helps maintain steady control during extended procedures. Therefore, the LighTouch series is well-suited for procedures where fatigue reduction is critical.

Durable Design

Manufacturers construct the instrument from high-grade surgical steel, which resists corrosion and holds up across repeated sterilization cycles. The precision-engineered ratchet maintains consistent tension over time, and the curved jaws are shaped for secure needle grasp without damaging fine suture material.

Handle the instrument carefully to avoid damaging the jaw serrations, since a worn jaw may fail to grip fine needles securely.
