Needle holder
text:
A needle holder, also called needle driver or needle forceps, is a surgical instrument similar to a hemostat, used by doctors and surgeons to hold and push a suturing needle when performing wound closure, ligation and other surgical procedures that require re-anastomosis. Being specialized forceps, the components of a typical needle holder are the jaws, the hinged joint and the handles. Most needle holders also have a ratchet mechanism that locks the handles together and clamps the needle firmly
