Abstract
A surgical needle holder is provided in which the handle members are arranged in a plane at right angles to associated jaws which are operated by the handles. A camming arrangement is coupled between the handles and jaws to convert the movement of the handles in one plane to movement of the jaws in a second perpendicularly arranged plane. The needle holder is employed for suturing in surgical procedures and facilitates placement of the hand of the operator as well as the application of force in a rotary sense thereby.
