A needle holder is a special instrument that is used in ophthalmology to hold surgical needles during suturing. It is a combination of tweezers and a clamp, where one jaw is common to both instruments. This allows the surgeon to easily and securely hold the needles during surgery, ensuring precision and safety of the procedure.
The Zanda needle holder consists of two main parts: tweezers and a clamp. The tweezers have two jaws that connect together in the center. The clamp also has two jaws, but they are located at different ends of the instrument. When the surgeon takes the needle, he inserts it between the jaws of the tweezers. He then secures the needle with a clamp.
The benefits of using a needle holder include:
- Precise and secure needle holding: Through the use of tweezers and a clamp, the surgeon can easily and accurately hold the needle in the desired location.
- Safety: The needle holder allows the surgeon to control the needle and avoid accidental movements that could lead to injury to the eye or other tissues.
- Convenience: The needle holder has an ergonomic design, which allows the surgeon to work with it comfortably and efficiently.
- Economical: A needle holder is a more economical option than using conventional tweezers to hold needles.
Overall, the zanda needle holder is an important tool in ophthalmology, which allows surgeons to perform precise and safe eye surgeries.
The gripper is pinched in the extreme position due to the acute angle between the jaws, while the area of pressure on the tissue is distributed more evenly due to the bending rigidity of the jaws. Better fixation of the needle and tissue is ensured: when making a suture, the absence of a gap prevents damage to blood vessels. The useful force of the forceps is 3 times greater than the force of the surgeon's hand, which improves the quality of the sutures. The surgeon is not distracted by pinching the edges of the wound with another instrument—the force is under control. Some needle clamps function as one of the tweezers. There are removable plastic clamps with elastic jaws. If the fixation is too weak, the needle moves deeper into the eye, causing
