needle holder

A needle holder is a specialized surgical instrument used by healthcare professionals to securely grasp and manipulate needles during suturing or other procedures. It functions like a pair of tweezers with a locking mechanism, allowing precise control and steady handling of the needle, which is often fine and difficult to hold by hand alone. This tool helps ensure accurate placement of stitches, minimizes tissue trauma, and provides stability for the surgeon, enhancing both safety and efficiency during surgery or wound closure.
