Jarit 121-260 Carb-Bite Berry Sternal Needle Holder/Wire Twister Heavy TC 7-1/4"

Jarit 121-260 7-1/4" Carb-Bite Berry Sternal Needle Holder & Wire Twister

The Jarit 121-260 is a heavyweight, multi-purpose instrument engineered specifically for the rigors of cardiothoracic and orthopedic trauma surgery. Measuring 7-1/4 inches (18.4 cm), this Berry-pattern holder is designed to manage the high-tension requirements of sternal closure and cerclage wiring. The defining feature is the Carb-Bite Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts, indicated by the industry-standard gold-plated handles. These ultra-hard inserts provide a non-slip, aggressive grip that can drive large surgical needles through dense bone or twist stainless steel wire without the "jaw-pitting" associated with standard instruments.

The robust box-lock and heavy-shank design allow the surgeon to apply significant torque during wire-twisting maneuvers, ensuring a stable, approximated sternum. Whether used for primary sternal closure, rib fixation, or heavy orthopedic wire management, the 121-260 delivers the tactile feedback and mechanical strength required for critical fixation.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Dual-Purpose Engineering: Optimized for both driving heavy needles and twisting stainless steel wires, reducing the need for instrument swaps during sternal closure.

• Aggressive Wire Grip: The Carb-Bite technology provides a "vice-like" grip on wires, preventing the needle holder from spinning or slipping during the final stages of a tensioned twist.

• High-Torque Durability: Reinforced shanks and a heavy-duty hinge are designed to withstand the lateral forces required to tighten 20-gauge or 22-gauge orthopedic wire.

• Tactile Precision: The 7.25" length provides the perfect balance of leverage and control for both superficial and deep-field wire management.

Condition

• Status: Limited Use – Excellent Condition.

• Quality Assessment: This instrument is in nearly pristine condition, exhibiting the characteristics of "New-Old-Stock" or an item with extremely minimal prior clinical use. The gold plating is intact, and the Carb-Bite serrations are sharp and free of wear.

• Functional Status: The heavy-duty ratchet engages with a secure "click" and the jaws meet with perfect alignment. The hinge is fluid but maintains the necessary rigidity for high-force tasks.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated cardiac or orthopedic protocols prior to use.
