Abstract
A set of double-angled needle holders and long, angled tissue forceps have been designed and presented for use in surgery of the abdomen. The problems of passage and control of curved needles in all directions is well recognized. The marriage of design and presentation addresses the mechanical and anatomic needs of surgeons in the pelvis, subdiaphragmatic area, and in large and obese patients. Multiple variables in use provided by these instruments, particularly when used together, enhance surgical control at problem sites.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
