ABSTRACT:
A device for manipulating a surgical needle which has been set in tissue is provided which comprises a tube with a telescoping rod therein, the tube and rod having a diametrical slot in one end forming a bifurcated slot. The tube and rod are relatively rotatable resulting in the slot portions being movable in and out of alignment. When the slot portions are in alignment the shank of the needle can be received in the slots, and as they are moved out of alignment, the needle is grasped by the side walls of the slots. Diametrical holes in the tube and rod are also provided forming a bifurcated passage for gripping the tip of the needle in a similar manner.
