Angulation of ringed grasping instruments. 1985

S L Perlman

A modification of conventional needleholders with grasping rings is presented. It consists of providing a 30 degree angulation of the rings to the body of the instrument, 1 cm. distal to the ratchet. The net effects are ease of grasping the instrument from the tray, increased comfort for both right- and left-handed surgeons, better visibility, and increased effectiveness in encompassing more tissue deeply for better wound edge eversion.
