Evaluation: instrument was repaired at ats (de) in 2013. Needle holders which have been repaired, show a little bigger tendency to break than brand new ones, if the carbide metal was changed. This problem is well known to us. But nevertheless even the strength of a repaired needle holder is strong enough to last with proper handling. Whether the handling was improper or not cannot be ascertained. It concerns a forced fracture caused by a mechanical overload situation.
