  • Title: An improved needleholder for endoscopic knot tying.
    Author: Koninckx PR.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 1992 Sep; 58(3):640-2. PubMed ID: 1521664.
    Abstract:
    A needle holder fitted with a distal and rotating hook is described. During endoscopic suturing, this hook grasps the thread and forms automatically a loop, through which the distal end of the thread is pulled to secure the knot. Endoscopic intracorporeal knot tying thus becomes easier and faster, especially in difficult situations.
