Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for efficient suturing and wound closure, this combined needle holder and scissor instrument allows the operator to securely grasp and drive suture needles while providing on-demand cutting of suture material without instrument exchange. It is commonly used in general surgical procedures, minor soft-tissue repairs, and anywhere controlled needle handling and rapid suture trimming improve procedural flow and reduce instrument passes.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle configuration provides tactile control and fine manual dexterity for needle placement and tying. Short, serrated jaws maximize needle purchase and reduce rotational slip during driving and tying. The integrated scissor blades located in the distal shank permit simultaneous cutting of suture close to the knot, eliminating the need to transfer the suture to a separate instrument and helping to streamline intraoperative steps.
