Peak Surgicals provides the best quality Surgical Instruments in which Needle Holder is also an addition.  Doctors and surgeons performing wound closures, ligations and other surgical procedures involving re-anastomosis use a needle holder, otherwise called as a needle driver or a needle forceps, which is similar to hemostat.

The basic structure of the needle holder consists of hinged joint, jaws (often reinforced with tungsten carbide inserts) and handles (usually finger rings at ends). In most cases, needle holders have ratchet mechanisms that serve to secure the grips together hence firmly locking down the needle within the jaws.

Thus, by this feature it becomes possible for the operator to move the needle through various tissues without having to squeeze grip continuously. The length of jaws are usually shorter than the length of handles with rough grasping surface in order to hold onto the needle tightly (increasing mechanical advantage using lever principle).

Majority of them are made to fit into fingers and palm in ways similar to scissors. However, there are those that possess tweezers like holding which enables more accurate movements in negotiating narrow spaces or delicate objects. Castroviejo Needle Holder is one such example frequently used in dental, eye and microsurgery. It was named after Spanish-American eye surgeon Ramón Castroviejo.
