Abstract
A new atraumatic smooth needle holder jaw with rounded edges that does not damage synthetic monofilament sutures is described herein. These rounded edges were created by mechanical filing of the sharp edges of smooth needle jaws. Compression of the monofilament suture between the needle holder jaw with sharp edges reduces the suture breaking strength compared with that of control sutures. A quality control method has been devised to detect the potentially damaging sharp edges of smooth needle jaws that can be easily implemented by needle holder manufacturers.
