OLSEN-HEGAR 11.5 cm: dual-function needle holder with TC inserts for maximum precision
The OLSEN-HEGAR 11.5 cm model from Frimed embodies surgical precision and efficiency in a compact format. This needle holder combines two essential functions: stable holding of a suture needle and the ability to cut the thread directly using integrated scissors. Designed to optimise operating time, it reduces handling and instrument changes, ensuring a smoother surgical workflow.
This model features short, grooved jaws with tungsten carbide (TC) inserts. This extremely durable material ensures excellent needle retention over time, even with repeated use, while reducing instrument wear. The grooves provide enhanced grip, preventing slippage when inserting the wire, while the blunt tips of the jaws ensure atraumatic handling, which is particularly useful for delicate tissue.
Its length of 11.5 cm makes the instrument perfectly suited for procedures in narrow or complex anatomical areas. The straight, compact and well-balanced shape of the needle holder facilitates fine and precise movements. This format is particularly popular in microsurgery, plastic surgery, ENT, dentistry and paediatrics.
The ratchet locking mechanism allows for firm and progressive closure with a smooth and stable feel, reducing fatigue for the practitioner. The gold rings are not decorative: they indicate the presence of tungsten carbide inserts and facilitate quick identification in the operating theatre.
The OLSEN-HEGAR 11.5 cm is a trusted choice for demanding professionals looking for a compact, precise and durable tool. It fits naturally into modern surgical protocols where time savings, safety and performance are priorities.
