Function surgical instrument of needle holder?

The surgical needle holder is used to hold the needle when closing a wound with sutures. The needle holder is similar to scissors in appearance, but has small jaws (smooth or serrated, depending on use) and handles that lock the holder closed on the needle. This allows the surgeon to pass the needle through both sides of the wound -- a process requiring rotation of the holder -- without dropping the needle.
