Olsen Hegar Needleholder & Suture Scissor

Instrument Overview

The Olsen Hegar Needleholder is a specialized surgical instrument that uniquely combines the functions of a needle holder and a suture cutting scissor into a single tool. This design greatly improves procedural efficiency by allowing the surgeon to hold the needle for suturing and immediately cut the suture material without needing to exchange instruments. It features a locking mechanism (ratchet) to secure the needle and sharp blades integrated near the joint.

• Dual Functionality: Serves as both a needle holder and a suture scissor, minimizing instrument passes and saving valuable operating time.
• Integrated Cutting Blades: Features sharp blades at the base of the jaws, designed for clean and precise cutting of suture thread.
• Ratcheted Grip: Provides a secure and firm hold on the needle, preventing rotation or slippage during passage through tissue.
• Optimal Length: At 6.5 inches (165mm), it provides an ideal balance of reach and maneuverability for various surgical fields.
