Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder With Scissors

Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder With Scissors

The Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder With Scissors combines needle driving and suture cutting in one instrument, removing the need for instrument exchange between each suture pass. Serrated jaw faces grip suture needles firmly on closure, preventing rotation under driving force. Built-in scissors sit at the shank, trimming suture material immediately after placement. The ratchet lock maintains needle grip after manual pressure releases. Solid stainless-steel construction covers the full body with ring handles at mid-shank for balanced, direct handling throughout combined suturing procedures.

Instrument exchange between needle driving and suture cutting slows operative flow — the scissors combined design eliminates that delay. Serrated jaws hold the needle securely under driving force. The built-in scissors trim the suture in the same grip without releasing the instrument. As a result, drive-and-cut sequences complete in one continuous motion. Furthermore, the ratchet lock gives the surgeon direct control over needle grip force across varied suture gauges and intraoral access sites throughout each procedure.

Oral surgeons and dental specialists performing routine intraoral suturing need a combined instrument that streamlines placement and cutting without tool switching. The Scissors suits integrated suture placement and cutting where an Olsen Hegar needle holder scissors TC dental instrument must handle varied suture tasks efficiently.

Leader Surgical manufactures this instrument for oral surgical and general dental programs where combined needle holder and scissors performance improve daily procedural efficiency.

Is the Olsen-Hegar available with TC jaw inserts?

Yes, TC variants provide significantly extended jaw surface longevity for high-volume daily suturing, identified by gold-plated ring handles, maintaining consistent needle grip through far more autoclave and use cycles than standard stainless jaws.
