ABSTRACT:
A surgical needle holder particularly adapted for use in laparoscopic procedures include a first and a second jaw element which have parallel engaging jaw faces. The first jaw element is stationary relative to the needle holder and the second jaw element is moveable. A rod extends from the moveable jaw element through the body of the needle holder and is spring biased forcing the moveable jaw element into engagement with the stationary jaw element. The jaw elements are opened by the handle which includes a generally V-shaped linkage between two handle members. When the handle members are squeezed together, the linkage is compressed and forced against the spring elements forcing it into compression and opening the jaw elements. Preferably the faces of the jaw elements are at a 30.degree. angle relative to the axis. This allows a needle to be held in the jaws and inserted through the cannula in a laparoscopic procedure.
