Needle Holders
Needle holders are modified box-lock
forceps designed to hold curved needles. The surgeon should thus be able to
manipulate the needle with ease during suturing near the surface (short needle
holders) or at a depth (long).
Since
the function of needle holders is to grasp needles the instruments look like
artery forceps:
1. Serration
at the tips to prevent slipping of needle.
2. Shafts
with rings for thumb and fingers.
3. Locking
device.
Fine
needle holders are damaged by large needles and small needles are damaged by
large needle holders. The varieties in use are:
• Mayo
needle holder
• Gillies
needle holder
• Naunton
Morgan needle holder
• Kilner
needle holder
• Mayo-Hegar
needle holder
• Microvascular
(Doious) needle holder
