Needle Holder

A needle holder, also known as a needle driver, is a surgical instrument used to securely grasp and manipulate suturing needles during surgical procedures. Typically made from stainless steel, it features ratcheted handles that allow for a firm grip while minimizing hand fatigue. The jaws of the needle holder are often cross-hatched to enhance friction, ensuring the needle does not slip during use. It is an essential tool in suturing techniques, providing precision and control for the surgeon.
