Tissue Forcep & Needle Holders

Surgical forceps are typically made of high-grade carbon steel, allowing them to withstand repeated sterilization in high-temperature autoclaves. Some are made of other high-quality stainless steel, chromium, and vanadium alloys to ensure edge durability and rust resistance. Other forceps are made with lower-quality steel. A needle holder, also known as a needle driver, is a surgical instrument used by doctors and surgeons to hold a suturing needle for closing wounds during suturing and surgical procedures. It is similar to a hemostat. The jaws, joints, and handles are the components of a simple needle holder. Most needle holders also have a clamp mechanism that locks the needle in place, allowing the user to move the needle through different tissues.
