Needle Holders and Suturing Devices

Different methods of suturing for advanced laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures include extracorporeal knot tying, intracorporeal knot tying, and intracorporeal suturing. A variety of needle holders and suture assist devices are available for this purpose. The most common diameter needle holders used are 5 mm, although 3 mm diameter instruments are available for smaller patients. Endoscopic needle holders most commonly come with straight handles (ssss1) rather than ring handles to provide a more ergonomic motion while manipulating suture and needle. The handles lock via a ratchet mechanism.
