Olsen Hegar Needle Holder 14cm

Clinical Application

Combines secure needle handling with on-instrument suture cutting to streamline soft-tissue closure workflows. Commonly used to place and tie interrupted and running sutures and to cut suture tails without exchanging instruments, reducing operative time and instrument handling. Applicable across general surgery, minor procedures, wound closure, and other cases where rapid transition between needle control and suture division is desirable.

Design & Configuration

The Olsen-Hegar design integrates a needle-holding jaw with a pair of cutting blades located distal to the jaws, enabling the surgeon to grasp, tie, and cut suture with a single instrument. Ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism provide repeatable needle control and secure retention during knot tying. At 14 cm overall length the profile is balanced for close manual work while maintaining enough reach for shallow cavities and layered closures. Serrated jaw faces deliver reliable purchase on a needle to minimize slippage while permitting precise positioning for tissue approximation and knot placement.
