  • Title: Biomechanics of a new atraumatic surgical needle holder.
    Author: Towler MA, Chen NC, Moody FP, McGregor W, Thacker JG, Rodeheaver GT, Edlich RF.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 1991; 9(6):477-85. PubMed ID: 1787296.
    Abstract:
    It is the purpose of this report to design, develop, and evaluate a needle holder whose jaws improve needle-holding security without altering the geometry of the curved surgical needle. The configuration of the jaws of this new needle holder is curved, conforming to the curvature of the surgical needle. A biomechanical study of this curved surgical needle holder demonstrates that it holds the curved needle securely without needle deformation.
