The Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder 12cm is a dual-purpose surgical instrument that combines needle-holding jaws with integrated suture scissors, allowing you to grasp the needle and cut the suture without switching tools. Its straight, serrated jaws and ratchet locking mechanism ensure a secure grip on the needle during suturing, while the compact 12cm length makes it ideal for precision work in tight spaces such as dental procedures, small-animal surgery, and superficial wound closure. It is typically made from surgical-grade stainless steel with tungsten carbide inserts for enhanced durability, and is autoclavable for repeated use .
