Abstract
A surgical needle holder has the facing surfaces of its jaws lined with memory alloy which is soft enough to distort around a needle when gripped between the jaws. A better grip on the needle is thus achieved. The surfaces of the inserts may be profiled with ribs to allow the alloy to be subject to a greater pressure per square centimeter locally and so more readily deformed.
