GATOR GRIP(TM) instruments by J&J Instruments are our top of the line needle holders. From their sleek gold plated handles to the German made tungsten-carbide tipped inserts, these needle holders have the feel, quality, and durability to please the most demanding surgeon. The tungsten inserts are affixed by a copper brazing process and heat treated in our computerized vacuum furnace. This is done to assure the strongest possible bond between the insert and body of the needle holder.
