摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The holder has a hinge for holding a needle, and an additional hinge e.g. ball joint or hinge joint, arranged at a distal end of the holder. The additional hinge is operated from a proximal end of the holder by a fixed rod or fabric string, and enables swiveling of the needle in a plane of a longitudinal axis of the holder. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Needle holder for holding a needle, which is utilized for puncturing of tissues, during open- and endoscopic operations for suturation of the tissues. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The additional hinge is operated from the proximal end of the holder, and enables the swiveling of the needle in the plane of the longitudinal axis of the holder, thus facilitating needle perforation direction towards hand of a surgeon and away from the hand of the surgeon. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of a needle holder.'(Drawing includes non-English language text)'.
