Description

The Mathieu needle holder is held in the palm, not through finger rings. Its pliers-style handles are sprung apart by a leaf spring, and a ratchet at the end of the handles locks the jaws on the needle; squeezing again releases it.

For a finger-ring needle holder, see the Mayo-Hegar needle holder.

It is supplied non-sterile: clean and sterilise it 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.
