NEEDLE HOLDER

A needle holder is a surgical instrument used to grasp and manipulate surgical needles during suturing. They come in various designs, including those with or without a locking mechanism (ratchet). Needle holders without a lock offer continuous adjustment and are preferred for delicate procedures requiring precise needle repositioning, while those with a lock provide a secure hold during suturing.
