Abstract
Microsuturing in a narrow and/or a deep operating space is technically challenging and classical microinstruments such as a bayonet microneedle-holder have their limitation, mainly related to their in-built rigidity. In this technical note, a new flexible and 360° rotating shaft microneedle-holder made from nitinol is presented.
