    Needle holders are surgical instruments, similar to a hemostat, used to hold a suturing needle for suturing tissue during surgical procedures.The parts of a simple needle holder are the jaws, the joint and the handles. Needle holder can usually lock to hold the needle in a manner which allows the operator to maneuver the needle through the various tissues. Sometimes referred to as needle drivers, this type of instrument is mainly ring handled, similar to hemo-stats but with smaller jaws which are shorter and thicker. Needle holders hold needles which are attached to sutures. These instruments are also available in a variety of lengths and styles and may be curved or straight. Needle holders have inserts in the jaw to prevent excessive wear of the instrument. These inserts are mainly made from tungsten carbide granules in cobalt or other metallic paste. Needle holders with tungsten carbide inserts are normally identified with gold plated handles. The inserts can be replaced as they wear down, which prolongs the life of the needle holder and defrays the replacement cost of an entire instrument. Examples of needle holders: Mayo-Hegar, Crile -wood, Olsen-Hegar, Collier, and Webster.
