Most instruments have either ratcheted or nonratcheted ringed handles (ssss1). Ratcheted handles lock via one of several ratchet mechanisms, depending on the manufacturer. Laparoscopic needle holders, however, have a straight handle design with either a hemostat style or a disengageable ratchet locking mechanism to allow for easier manipulation of suture and needle within a body cavity. Ringed handles are held in the same tripod manner as traditional instruments, with the thumb and ring finger in the rings and the index finger stabilizing the shaft. A dial that is easily reached by the index finger allows for 360° rotation of the shaft around its longitudinal axis. Shaft rotation allows for optimal positioning of the instrument jaws when working within a confined space. Handles intended for use with insulated shafts for monopolar or bipolar electrocoagulation also have a high‐frequency connector for application of an electrical current from an electrosurgical generator. Monopolar and bipolar handles and shafts are distinct from one another and cannot be interchanged.
