The Quinelato Mathieu Needle Holder for Elastics 4.30″ uses the Mathieu ratchet body to place and remove orthodontic elastics — not to hold suture needles. The serrated tips grip the elastic and the locked ratchet keeps it stretched while it is hooked into place.

Built for elastics — placement and removal, not suturing
