Olsen-Hegar (BRYAN) Needle Holder 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled needle handling and immediate suture division in a single instrument, this Olsen-Hegar-style needle holder reduces instrument exchanges during closure. It is suited to general soft-tissue approximation and layered wound closure where efficient transition from needle driving to suture cutting is beneficial—common in general surgery, gynecology, plastics, and minor-procedure settings. The integrated scissors allow the operator or assistant to cut suture without introducing a separate cutting instrument, improving procedural flow in confined fields.

Design & Configuration

The instrument pairs a precision needle-holding jaw with an integrated scissor blade distal to the box lock. Ring handles with a ratchet lock provide positive, repeatable clamping force for needle control, while the serrated jaw surface secures the needle shaft to minimize slippage during passage. The 17 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control, making it suitable for both superficial and moderately deep closures where fine manipulation and occasional cutting are required.
