Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8705483A1] A microsurgical tool (10) for use in microsurgery having a central cylindrical body (18, 20) which can be rotated by a surgeon. The body includes first and second portions (18) and (20) joined at a closed end (24), and having needle points (12) and (14) at the other end. Opposing longitudinal grooves (40) and (42) formed in each half receive an alignment rod (38) which maintains alignment of the tips (12) and (14) as the portions are mated together. The portions of cooperating intermating recesses (62) and (66) and the protrusions (60) and (64) extending in transverse directions are located adjacent the tips (12) and (14) of the instrument. The protrusions (60) and (64) and recesses (62) and (66) provide a second, early aligment of the portions (28) and (30) adjacent to the tips of the instrument (10) as the instrument (10) is closed.
