Abstract:
A suture holder allows a scrub nurse to "load" (i. e. , retrieve a suture needle and thread onto a surgical needle driver) with one hand during a surgical operation. The suture holder is made of spring loops arranged on a supporting base to hold suture packets. Leaf springs can also be employed on a suture holder to hold and secure suture packets during surgery.
