The patented design features a unique lever arm clamp method to ensure the needle is firmly held. The driver also holds the needle parallel to the handles, rotated 90° from traditional needle drivers. Previously made driver require elliptical motion to apply sutures. This new driver allows the surgeon to apply sutures vertically, in areas that would be difficult to reach with traditional drivers therefore enabling less invasive procedures, particularly in areas such as the base of the tongue or in difficult to reach abdominal procedures. The related needle is grasped in a position to function while the operator’s hand is in a neutral and comfort position. The needle automatically moves into an ideal position between two target points in a straight vertical rather than elliptical motion as in conventional needle drivers.
BENEFITS/ADVANTAGES
• Only lever arm clamp method based needle driver on the market
• Provide greater manoveurbility and comfort
• Operating with more comfort and steadiness of the surgeon’s hand because there is no hand twisting.
• More accuracy and precision in difficult conditions of long reaching tissues or narrow spaces because the movement is in straight midline between two points
