Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder

The Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder is a multifunctional surgical instrument that combines the functions of a needle holder and surgical scissors in a single instrument, allowing surgeons to hold the suture needle, place sutures, and cut suture material without changing instruments. It is widely used in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, gynecology, obstetrics, cardiovascular surgery, orthopedic surgery, veterinary surgery, and other procedures requiring efficient suturing. Alternative industry terminology includes Olsen-Hegar Needle Driver, Olsen Hegar Needle Holder Scissors, Combination Needle Holder, and Needle Holder with Scissors.

The instrument features precision serrated jaws for secure needle control, integrated scissor blades positioned behind the jaws for cutting suture material, ergonomic ring handles, and a ratchet locking mechanism that provides stable needle fixation during suturing. This dual-function design helps improve surgical efficiency by reducing instrument exchanges during wound closure and tissue approximation.

Olsen-Hegar Needle Holders are commonly available in multiple lengths and jaw sizes to accommodate different surgical specialties and suture materials. They are frequently used for skin closure, soft tissue repair, microsurgical-assisted procedures, plastic surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, gynecological surgery, and other operations requiring accurate needle handling and suture cutting.

The instrument is typically manufactured from high-quality surgical stainless steel. Tungsten Carbide (T/C) insert versions are also widely available, offering improved grip and enhanced wear resistance. The instrument is reusable and designed for repeated cleaning and sterilization according to established hospital sterilization protocols.
