ABSTRACT:
A surgical device is used for manually manipulating suture needles. The device is formed of two elongate members hinged together. On one side of the hinge, the elongate members form a pair of jaws which are relatively moveable. One the other end of the elongate members there are handles formed which allow the user to manipulate the jaws about the hinge. An arcuate shield is integral with one of the jaws at its center. The shield extends laterally and arcuately from the jaw and covers the opposing jaw. The placement of the shield is such that a needle which is held between the jaws is protected from sticking any one or anything. The jaw members may be made up of several units forming segmented jaws.
