Hemostat and needle holder

(A) The hemostat (top) has a longer, thinner beak compared with the needle holder (bottom) and therefore should not be used for suturing. (B) The face of the shorter beak of the needle holder is cross-hatched to ensure a positive grip on the needle (left). The face of the hemostat has parallel grooves that do not allow a firm grip on the needle (right).
