Ethicon Needle Holder Curved

A laparoscopic Ethicon needle holder curved is a specialized surgical instrument used in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures for grasping and manipulating sutures and needles during tissue closure. Here's a brief breakdown:

Purpose:

• Holding and controlling needles and sutures with precision during laparoscopic surgery.
• Facilitating tissue suturing and repair in minimally invasive procedures.

Key Features:

• Curved jaws: The curved design provides better access and maneuverability in tight surgical spaces, particularly around corners and curves.
• Ethicon design: This refers to a specific ergonomic handle design associated with Ethicon, a medical device manufacturer, known for its comfort and ease of use.
• Toothed or non-toothed jaws: Some models have fine teeth on the jaws to provide a secure grip on the needle, while others have smooth jaws for delicate tissue handling.
• Ratchet mechanism: The handle often features a ratchet mechanism for controlled closure and release of the jaws, reducing hand fatigue.
• Reusable or disposable: Laparoscopic needle holders can be either reusable, requiring sterilization after each use, or disposable for single-patient use.
