A new microsurgical needleholder.
Abstract
Microsurgery demands precise and rapid manipulation of needle and thread with maintenance of special respect for the fragility of the tissues. The design of the needleholder is of paramount importance in achieving these goals. The instrument described below is light, long enough to rest comfortably in the hand, and balanced in such a way that it can be manipulated into awkward corners with relative ease.
