Webster Needle Holder 5"

This ring-handle needle holder is used when significant force is needed to pass a needle or when long/deep passes are made through sub-cutaneous tissues.  Often a larger needle, which is at risk for popping off the Castroviejo, is used for these passes.  The brow fixation during posterior hairline browplasty is placed using the Webster Needle Holder.  They are available with smoother or serrated jaws.
