2064082 9118553 PCTABS00008 A needle stop surgical instrument comprising a finger housing (1), a needle receiving space (3), and a handle (2). The finger housing (1) is adapted for receiving a finger. At one end of the finger housing (1) is an endwall (5) for protecting the finger from injury and the needle receiving space (3) for receiving and guiding a needle. The space (3) is preferably in the shape of a cone. At the opposite end of the finger housing (1) is connected the handle (2) which is designed such that when a finger is received in the housing (1), the remaining fingers of the hand can grip the handle (2). The instrument is used in a Stamey procedure or similar procedures to protect a surgeon's finger from needle injury, by being capable of receiving and guiding a needle through a surgical incision. Using the needle stop, a surgeon can avoid the risk of contracting serious infectious diseases, such as AIDS and Hepatitis B.
