The needle lift has a movable component, which is partially movable in the plane of a base area (1) against the base area. The movable component is formed and fixed on the base area, such that a movement of the component is lifted from the base area. A needle holder (2) is provided in an area (14,15) of the movable component, which is lifted from the base area. A shackle (10) is provided with a proximal end (11), a middle section (12) and a distal end (13), where the shackle in the area of its distal end is movably held on the base area. An independent claim is included for a suture material package with a receiving space partially formed between a base component and a lid component, and a needle lift.
