ABSTRACT:
Needle holder having an elongate tubular member serving as a shaft and having a bore extending therethrough and having proximal and distal extremities. A push-pull rod is slidably mounted in the bore in the tubular member and has proximal and distal extremities. First and second jaws are carried by the distal extremity of the elongate tubular member. The first jaw is secured to the distal extremity of the tubular member in a fixed position. The second jaw is connected to the push-pull rod to cause the second jaw carried thereby to be moved between a closed needle-clamping position and an open position upon relative movement between said push-pull rod and said tubular member. One of said first and second jaws consists of first and second jaw portions having a slot extending therebetween. The other of said first and second jaws overlies and is disposed in the slot. An actuation device is secured to the tubular member and to the push-pull rod for causing the relative movement between the push-pull rod and the tubular member.
