    Abstract: Surgeon dexterity plus proper surgical tools are of the main 
  determinants of optimal incision/wound closure and proper postsurgical healing. 
  Methods of placing surgical sutures vary. Guiding-Needle Tissue-Forceps (GNTF), 
  a new tissue forceps was invented and used to introduce its applicability to 
  set several types of surgical sutures. GNTF was used on phantom models to set 
  several types of conventional sutures as simple interrupted, continuous, continuous 
  lock, horizontal mattress and vertical mattress. GNTF leads the operator mandatorily 
  follow the basic principles of suturing. It can be applied in areas with difficult 
  visibility and poor tool access. All needle types and shapes such as round body, 
  reverse cutting, straight, 1/2, 3/8 and 5/8 circle with standard chord lengths 
  were well compatible with GNTF.
