Bates Needle Holder with Suture Cutter
James E. Bates, MD
By trapping the suture and cutting when the forcep is opened, helps to reduce stress on the surgeon’s hand
- • No switching between needle driver and scissors, or need for assistant to cut sutures for you
- • Cutting with opening of forceps reduces possibility of damage to surrounding tissues
- • Sliding the instrument down to the suture knot allows quick and consistent 2 mm suture tails
- • Slip the suture strands into the suture cutting slot and slide the closed instrument along until desired length of tail is achieved, then open the instrument to cut the sutures
