    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Conventional needle holders can present challenges in terms of grip and tissue manipulation.
    • Surgeon comfort and instrument handling are critical factors in surgical effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel modification of conventional needle holders.
    • To enhance instrument handling, surgeon comfort, and tissue grasping capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of standard needle holders by incorporating a 30-degree angulation of grasping rings.
    • Placement of the angled rings 1 cm distal to the instrument's ratchet.

    Main Results:

    • The modified needle holders demonstrate improved ease of grasping from surgical trays.
