Abstract
An improved surgical device for performing thoracostomies. The device includes a holder for a curved stylet or a flexible tube and curved stylet combination which holder includes a two piece curved needle attached to a pair of handles, each handle including one part of the needle, which handles can be spread apart for insertion of a curved stylet or tube and curved stylet combination between the needle parts. When it is desired to remove the device from the patient, one of the handles having its needle part can be removed from the other handle having its needle part without disturbing the tube or stylet alone held between the needle parts. In this manner, sutures can be easily made in a chest or drainage effected in carrying out a thoracostomy.
