3 Classification
3.1 The needle holders are divided into: general needle holders, insert needle holders and
microvascular needle holders.
the handle of the needle holders without cemented carbide inserts shall not be golden yellow.
4.3 Surface Roughness
The surface of the needle holders can be made with gloss or without gloss, and the value of the
surface roughness parameter Ra shall not be greater than: with gloss: 0.4 m, without gloss: 0.8
m.
4.4 Elasticity and Firmness
4.4.1 The needle holders shall have good elasticity and firmness.
4.4.2 The connection between the cemented carbide inserts and the base of the insert needle
holders shall be firm.
4.5 Clamping Performance
The needle holders shall have good clamping performance.
4.6 Tooth Contact
When the finger rings of the needle holders bump against each other, or when the locking teeth
are all locked, no less than three-fifths of the tooth surface of the head serration shall be in
contact.
4.7 Gill Flexibility
The opening and closing of the gill joints of the needle holders shall be flexible, and with
appropriate tightness.
4.8 Oscillating Quantity

Oscillating Quantity
4.10 Hardness
4.10.1 The needle holders shall be subjected to thermal treatment, and their hardness shall
comply with the stipulations of Table 3.
4.10.2 The hardness of the cemented carbide insert shall not be less than 923HV0.5; the
difference between two pieces shall not be greater than 50HV0.5.
4.11 Corrosion Resistance

stipulations of Grade-b in the boiling water test method in YY/T 0149-2006.
5 Test Methods
5.1 Appearance
Use normal or corrected vision to examine it and use hands to touch and feel it, which shall
comply with the stipulations of 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
5.2 Color Scale of the Handle
Use normal or corrected vision to examine it, which shall comply with the stipulations of 4.2.
5.3 Surface Roughness
The surface roughness of the needle holder shall be examined by the sample piece comparison
method. Under the condition of magnification by 5 ~ 10 times, compare it with the sample piece,
and use normal or corrected vision to examine it, which shall comply with the stipulations of
4.3.
5.4 Elasticity and Firmness
5.4.1 Place a stainless steel wire that complies with the stipulations of Table 4 on the front end
of the head of the needle holder. The needle holder is completely closed, then loosened; repeat
3 times; observe the body of the instrument, which shall comply with the stipulations of 4.4.1.
5.4.2 After the insert needle holder is subjected to the elasticity and firmness test (5.4.1),
observe the insert, which shall comply with the stipulations of 4.4.2.
5.5 Clamping Performance
At one third of the front end of the head of the needle holder, clamp the 3-0 Class I uncoated
medical suture specified in YY 0167-2005; pull it hard, until the suture breaks; observe the
clamped suture, which shall comply with the stipulations of 4.5.
