Needle Bevel Orienting Device

摘要

An apparatus and method for selectively orienting beveled needle tips by use of cooperatively configured, counter-rotating curved surfaces that contact and rotate the needle to a preferred angular orientation without blunting or marring the bevel edges. The counter-rotating surfaces may be selectively repositioned at different angles in order to reliably orient all needles as part of a multi-step method.

1. A device for orienting a needle bevel relative to a needle support member, the device comprising a pair of rollers that cooperate to contact and rotate a needle about its longitudinal axis until the needle bevel is repositioned to a desired rotational alignment with the needle holder.
