ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a suture needle holder for a suture needle. A suture needle is placed in a trough cut into the surface of a die. This trough intersects a cavity within the die. A sheet is placed onto the surface of the die after the needle is placed in the trough. The sheet is then thermoformed into the cavity to form a pedestal around the needle. During thermoforming the needle is captured by the sheet and a slot is formed about the suture needle.
