ABSTRACT:
A surgical needle holder for curved needles, comprised of movable gripping jaws offset from a manipulating handle thereof by a distance substantially equal to the radius of curvature of the specific needle to be held thereby. The gripping jaws are positioned relative to said handle such that the curved needle, held therebetween, is rotated only through its own curvature about an axis coincident with the axis of rotation of said handle. The manipulating handle is preferably comprised of at least one section thereof having a substantially circular cross section whereby said section may be manipulatively rolled between a surgeon's fingers to rotate said needle along its curvature during suturing. Tissue trauma and tearing during such suturing are substantially reduced thereby.
