ABSTRACT:
Improved surgical instruments which are angulated to facilitate improved clamping of vessels and suturing when used as a needle holder. Instrument arms are presented which are interrelated along their lengths to define a scissors type motion. The arms include proximal sections having holding and releasable locking capability, intermediate sections at an angle of preferably 80 to 100 degrees with respect to the proximal section, and distal jaw sections that are preferably generally parallel to the proximal sections. Instruments according to the present invention fulfill all the normal physiological and anatomical relationships of function of the hand at the wrist joint which affords improvement over present operative techniques.
