Needle Holder & Driver

Needle holders, also known as needle forceps or needle drivers, are used in suturing during a surgical procedure. Needle holders typically have a textured tip for a secure hold. Often they have a ratchet (or other mechanism for locking).Some have tungsten carbide inserts in the tips. Tungsten carbide inserts are more durable than stainless steel, last longer and typically offer a better grip. Tungsten carbide (TC) is harder than stainless steel. Look for the gold handles which designate tungsten carbide inserts.

One issue with suturing laparoscopically has been the difficult angles of approach that often make it strenuous to suture at the surgical site. Straight laparoscopic tools often cannot provide easy access and suturing of curvatures or deeper areas. Our needle holder provides efficient angles of approach for suturing structures perpendicularly and vertically. Reverse suture throws and other types of motions are also made more flexible and ergonomically friendly by the articulating joints of the end effector
