Hold the Needle Holder in a tripod manner using the thumb, index, and ring finger.
Don’t apply too much force on the needles to prevent breaking or bending.

After bringing the surgical tools out of the operation theater, clean them in 10 to 20 minutes. The tools used in the surgical procedure contain stains of body fluids or blood.
Inspect each part of the instrument after a thorough sterilization process. The jaws, joints, or handles may get damaged due to the application of force and improper handling during surgical procedures.
Store the instrument in a dry place after thorough sterilization. If there is any leftover moisture on the tool surface or in the storage container, the tool is at risk of rusting.
