Olsen Hegar Needle Holder Tungsten Carbide
The Olsen Hegar Needle Holder Tungsten Carbide (TC) is one of the most trusted instruments in modern surgery. It is widely used by surgeons across specialties for its precision, durability, and efficiency. Manufactured with high-grade German stainless steel and reinforced with Tungsten Carbide inserts, this instrument offers superior control during suturing and wound closure.
At Javeria International, we supply premium surgical tools that comply with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and CE standards, making them safe, effective, and long-lasting.
Why Tungsten Carbide Inserts Matter
Unlike regular stainless steel instruments, the Olsen Hegar Needle Holder TC is equipped with Tungsten Carbide jaws that provide:
-
A stronger grip on sutures.
-
Reduced risk of needle slippage.
-
Increased durability & resistance to wear.
-
Long-lasting sharpness and cutting precision.
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the use of reinforced instruments significantly reduces surgical errors and enhances procedural outcomes.
Dual Function: Needle Holder + Scissors
The Olsen Hegar TC is unique because it functions as both a needle holder and scissors. Surgeons can hold needles securely and cut sutures without switching instruments, saving valuable time during operations. This design is particularly useful in:
-
Plastic Surgery (fine sutures & cosmetic closures).
-
Cardiovascular Surgery (delicate vascular suturing).
-
Dental & Oral Surgery (precise suturing in restricted areas).
-
General Surgery (closing wounds & abdominal procedures).

Ergonomic Design for Surgeon Comfort
A key factor in surgical performance is comfort. The Olsen Hegar TC is designed with ergonomic finger rings and a balanced structure, which reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use. The gold-plated handles not only enhance aesthetics but also indicate the presence of TC inserts, making them easy to distinguish in surgical kits.
The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of ergonomic surgical instruments in reducing hand strain and improving surgeon efficiency (WHO Guidelines).
