ABSTRACT:
A needle stop surgical instrument comprising a finger housing, a needle receiving space, and a handle. The finger housing is adapted for receiving a finger. At one end of the finger housing is an endwall for protecting the finger from injury and the needle receiving space for receiving and guiding a needle. The needle receiving space is preferably in the shape of a cone. At the opposite end of the finger housing is connected the handle which is designed such that when a finger is received in the housing, the remaining fingers of the hand can grip the handle.
The instrument is used in a Stamey procedure or similar procedures. The needle stop is used to protect a surgeon's finger from risk of needle injury, by being capable of receiving and guiding a needle through a surgical incision. Using the needle stop, a surgeon can avoid the risk of contracting serious infectious diseases, such as AIDS and Hepatitis B.
