Spring-loaded microvascular needle holders in titanium — available in Micro, Supermicro, and Ultra sizes — engineered for fatigue-free precision across all microsurgery suture gauges from 8-0 down to 12-0.
Why needle holder sizing matters
A needle holder that is too thick damages a fine needle. One that opens too wide causes hand fatigue over a long reconstruction. Shira offers three calibrated sizes to match suture gauge precisely.
Size
Suture Range
Primary Application
Micro NH
8-0, 9-0, 10-0
Standard microsurgery, free flap anastomosis
Supermicro NH
10-0, 11-0
Perforator-to-perforator, lymphatic surgery
Ultra NH
12-0
Supermicrosurgery — 0.12 mm tip, India's finest needle holder
Why titanium
40–45% lighter than stainless steel — significantly less hand fatigue in long reconstructions and during fine movements
Non-magnetising — eliminates the frustration of a magnetised needle jumping away from the holder
Rust-free — far superior corrosion resistance vs stainless steel; no degradation after repeated autoclaving
Blue surface treatment — not a coating; an inherent surface process that is extremely durable and will not peel or flake
Design features
Narrow tip design with calibrated spring tension — just adequate opening, no overextension
Held like a pencil for natural, intuitive grip
Round body for comfortable rotation between fingers
3-year warranty on manufacturing defects
