Needle Holders - Premium Stainless Steel, Precision Engineered With Durable Inserts And Secure Box Lock

We are engaged in manufacturing and exporting Needle Holders in Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan. Cracks in the Jaws or Box Lock: Although needle holders were designed to have the insert fail and crack before the jaw there are situations where the jaw itself will crack. If this occurs there will be a distinct bend in the jaw with a clear break behind the insert. This type of break can be repaired, but the chances of a successful repair are small. Like a forceps, cracks in a box lock are generally small, but compromise the integrity of the instrument. Any instrument with a cracked box lock should be sent in for repair immediately.

Cracks or Wear on the Inserts: Because the tip of a needle holdera s jaws are generally the only part of the instrument used the majority of insert damage will occur there. Visible cracks in the insert are easy to identify and if seen the insert needs to be replaced. Inserts also wear down and if the tip of an insert looks and feels significantly less coarse than the rest of the insert it should be replaced. Another good test is to close the instrument, hold it up to a light and look to see if light is passing between the inserted portion of the jaws. If so the instrument needs to be repaired.

Loose Box Lock: A loose box lock is another common problem which occurs from normal wear and tear. To check if the box lock is to loose open the instrument, grab one ring handle in each hand and gently push one handle up and down.
