About NEEDLE HOLDER

Needle holder

A needle holder, also known as a needle driver or needle forceps, is a surgical instrument used to hold and push a suturing needle during wound closure, ligation, and other surgical procedures. It is designed to provide a secure grip on the needle, allowing for precise manipulation and control.

Key Features

• Ratchet mechanism: Locks the handles together and clamps the needle firmly between the jaws, enabling the user to maneuver the needle through various tissues without having to keep squeezing the grip.
• Jaws: Often reinforced with tungsten carbide inserts for durability and precision.
• Handles: Typically designed for a gripped-like scissors motion, with some models featuring a tweezers-like grip for finer movements around delicate structures or narrow spaces.
