ArtCraft Dental has announced the release of Stitch Buddy, an innovative suturing instrument designed to improve control, stability, and safety during suture placement.

Invented and patented by Dr. Nicholas Mallory, Stitch Buddy functions as an ergonomic extension of the clinician’s hand, helping stabilize cross-ridge tissue while enabling smoother and more controlled needle pull-through. The instrument was specifically developed to simplify one of oral surgery’s most technique-sensitive tasks.

With Stitch Buddy, your fingers never touch the suture needle, allowing for safer, accident-free suturing. The thumb-locking design also helps secure the needle during tie-off or enables clinicians to easily and safely dispose of the needle once the procedure is complete.

“With Stitch Buddy, suturing feels more controlled and efficient,” said Dr. David Fyffe. “The goal was to create a safer, more ergonomic solution that improves both precision and ease when suturing.”

As clinicians continue seeking practical innovations that improve workflow and procedural efficiency, Stitch Buddy represents a new approach to safer and more predictable suturing in modern dental practices.
