ABSTRACT:
A wrist attachable holder for releasably engaging a surgeon's needle so as to reduce the risk of accidental needle strikes. The holder includes a flexible bracelet adapted to be severed at one end so as to be adjustable to fit the wrist of a surgeon. The holder further includes a support body for supporting a needle. In one embodiment, a magnetic plate is embedded in a support body for magnetically retaining the needle. In another embodiment, the support body includes a set of spaced apart prongs for engaging the needle. In both embodiments, the support body is provided with a shank that terminates in a ball which is rotatably mounted in the holder. The ball arrangement permits the support body and associated magnet or pair of prongs to be positioned in a vertical plane perpendicular to the upper surface of the holder. A threaded set screw is engageable with the ball to fix the ball in a desired position and, in turn, retain the magnet or prongs and a needle associated therewith in a desired position.
