  <dc:title>Mathieu's Needle Holder</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This item is a needle holder forceps, composed of two joint handles, with one smooth jaw and one jaw with longitudinal and cross serrations. A ratchet mechanism allows for self-retention, and the internal cross-serration prevents slipping. Each handle has a grooved pattern. Markings "39" are present on each jaw, with an "F" logo and "chrome-plated" below the screw joint.</dc:description>
