Description
The Webster is a small needle holder with slim, fine jaws, for the small needles and fine sutures used in plastic, facial and hand surgery and in small skin closures.
Choose smooth jaws, which are kinder to fine sutures, or serrated jaws for a firmer grip on the needle. Both also come with tungsten carbide inserts: a harder material than stainless steel, set into the jaw faces with a fine cross-hatched grip. Gold-coloured finger rings mark the tungsten carbide version. It is 12.5 cm long. With scissors built in, see the Olsen-Hegar needle holder.
A ratchet between the finger rings keeps the jaws closed on the needle until you release it. Supplied non-sterile: clean and sterilise before use.

Care and use
Before first use
It is supplied non-sterile. Clean and sterilise it before first use, then check that the jaw tips meet and that the ratchet holds and releases smoothly.
Cleaning
Clean it as soon as possible after use so nothing dries on. Use a neutral (pH 7) instrument detergent with the jaws open; an ultrasonic cleaner reaches the joint and ratchet best. Rinse well, ideally in distilled water, and dry completely.
Lubricating and sterilising
Before sterilising, treat the joint with a water-soluble instrument lubricant. Sterilise it with the ratchet unlocked and the jaws open, following your steriliser's instructions and your facility's process: instruments locked shut can crack at the joint.
What to avoid
Saline, bleach and other chloride solutions cause pitting and corrosion in stainless steel. Don't soak or rinse the instrument in them, and keep it apart from instruments made of other metals during cleaning.
