The project
Surgical suture techniques can be harmful to surgeon and patient because of the risk of contagion. The Sutureaid suture forceps has a small synthetic, sterile, and disposable Needle Receptor (NR) on one of its arms. The NR makes sure that there is no hand contact with the needle before, during, and after suturing.
Committee
A technically innovative suture forceps that reduces the risk of so-called needle-stick injuries during an operation and enhances the efficiency of the surgeon. The phase of technical innovation has through a careful design developed into a mature product.
