Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed to combine needle handling and suture cutting in a single instrument, this Olsen-Hegar pattern is used for efficient placement, manipulation and secure tying of sutures with the added convenience of integrated scissors for trimming suture tails. The configuration supports a range of soft-tissue closure tasks in outpatient procedures, minor surgery, and operative settings where minimizing instrument exchanges improves workflow and reduces operative time.

Design & Configuration

The instrument pairs a needle-holder jaw geometry with scissors located in the lower shank, enabling the operator to grasp and cut suture without changing instruments. Cross-serrated jaws provide a firm, non-slip purchase on curved and straight needles, while the ratchet locking handle maintains consistent grip during needle driving and knot tying. The 14 cm length balances reach and tactile control, making it suitable for superficial and moderately deep closures where precise needle control is required.
