Laparoscopic needle holder

摘要

The holder (1) has shafts designed as a tube, and a gripper jaw (9) arranged at a distal end and actuated by a rod. The rod is longitudinally movable by a hand grip (4) that is arranged at proximal ends of the shafts, where the hand grip is designed as a gripping piece. The shafts comprise a linear proximal shaft section (2) and a curved distal shaft section (3), which are fixed to each other in detachable manner. The gripper jaw is welded at the distal shaft section in a non-detachable manner. The rod has an actuator that is provided in form of a ball (16) at the proximal ends. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing the needle holder.
