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.
