    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Anterior segment surgery requires precise manipulation of tissues.
    • Current surgical workflows often necessitate instrument exchanges, potentially disrupting the procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel double-ended needle holder designed for anterior segment surgery.
    • To evaluate the utility of a combined straight and curved needle holder.

    Main Methods:

    • A new double-ended needle holder was designed and fabricated.
    • The instrument's functionality was assessed in simulated anterior segment surgical scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • The double-ended needle holder successfully integrated the functions of both straight and curved needle holders.
    • Instrument exchange was not required when utilizing the novel device.

    Conclusions:

    • The newly designed double-ended needle holder offers enhanced efficiency for anterior segment surgeons.
    • This instrument simplifies surgical technique by providing versatile functionality in a single device.
