Abstract
A hand held surgical needle holder for turning and gripping microsurgical needles. The needle holder is of the tweezer type with two spaced tongs having a cylindrical central portion. Pointed tips on the prongs are brought toward each other by pressure to grip the needle. One of the tips is hooked and extends beyond the end of the other tip member. The needle is held between the hooked surfaces as the cylindrical central portion is rotated to spin the needle in an arc.
