ABSTRACT:
The invention is a needle holder for doing surgery in the oral cavity, especially those deep areas, and the hard to reach areas (palate, jaw joint, vestibular of the inferior and superior maxilla). The holder is an improved version of the present holders. It operates on the principle of off axis rotation and is held like a pencil or pen with the thumb and the index finger. It provides ease of use for the surgeon and better control in addition to an unobstructed field of view due to its smaller size when compared with the traditional holder. It does not employ locking teeth to hold the needle which prevents it from vibrating.
