Stainless steel is used to make a needle holder, also known as a needle driver, which is used to hold a suturing needle during surgical procedures.
Specialised hemostat devices called needle holders are used to hold the needles during surgical procedures. The needle is tightly clamped by these needle holders, which aid in suturing.
The mechanism of integrated clamps in needle holders locks the needle in place for however long is necessary.To reduce high-risk injuries, the phlebotomy needle and tube holder should be thrown away as a whole unless another shielding mechanism is offered to cover the rear end.
Encourage a change if your facility requires the reuse of blood tube holders.
The Global surgical Needle Drivers market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Introducing the New Low-Cost Surgical Tool That Moves Like A Surgeon’s Hand, the FLEXDEX Needle Driver.
The first operation with the use of FlexDex Surgical’s initial product, a straightforward, comfortable, and uncomplicated “needle driver” for stitching within the body.
FlexDex has started distributing its goods across the country. The platform is anticipated to increase the practice of minimally invasive surgery, which enables patients to recover more quickly.An all-mechanical platform called FlexDex attaches to the surgeon’s arm.
It makes use of a novel technical technique to allow the instrument’s tip to imitate the surgeon’s hand’s motion. Together with mechanical engineering associate professor Shorya Awtar, Geiger co-founded and invented FlexDex.
Several laparoscopic and thoracic surgeries have involved the use of the needle driver by surgeons from Michigan Medicine, including Geiger. Future surgeries at U-M and beyond will incorporate FlexDex technology, including hernia repairs, hysterectomies, and prostatectomies.
Compared to open surgeries, minimally invasive techniques are far less frightening. Smaller incisions are made by surgeons.
To do the procedure and view the inside of the patient’s body, they employ laparoscopic cameras. Healing is less painful, and patients recover more quickly.
However, the tools available to surgeons to perform them have either proved difficult or expensive, or both.For example, while stitching internally, surgeons can use traditional straight-stick equipment, which make intricate operations like suturing and knotting uncomfortable to use and highly tough to learn, according to Geiger.
Or they can use the expensive but high-tech daVinci Surgical System, a robot-assisted technique that isn’t offered by all facilities. It takes a lot of practice to become proficient with a robot-assisted system.
