Frequently asked questions
Does the design improve surgical efficiency?
Yes, the Olsen-Hegar design features integrated scissors directly into the needle holder. This allows you to secure, manipulate, and cut sutures without needing to switch instruments, which streamlines your workflow.
How reliable is the needle grip during procedures?
The instrument is engineered for a secure hold. The tips feature cross-serrated jaws with a central groove, specifically designed to prevent needle rotation and provide a firm grip on intermediate weight sutures.
Is this tool suitable for plastic surgery?
Absolutely. The Olsen-Hegar needle holder is commonly utilized in plastic surgery applications due to its precision and its ability to effectively handle intermediate weight sutures.
Is this made with durable materials?
Yes, these instruments are constructed from high-quality stainless steel. This ensures the tool maintains consistent performance and structural integrity throughout its use.
Does it contain any latex?
No. The Sklar Econo Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for practitioners and patients with latex sensitivities.
Is the ratchet mechanism easy to control?
Yes, the instrument includes an integrated ratchet locking mechanism positioned near the finger rings. It is designed for smooth engagement, allowing you to lock the jaws securely in place for precise control.
What is the primary benefit of the 'Econo' line?
The ‘Econo’ floor-grade line is designed as a cost-effective, disposable solution. It provides high-quality surgical instrumentation while removing the costs associated with sterilization and reprocessing, making it ideal for high-volume clinical needs.
Does the length provide good reach?
The instrument is 6-1/2 inches long, which is an optimal length for a wide range of surgical procedures, providing an excellent balance between reach and manual dexterity.
How are these packaged for my clinic?
These are conveniently supplied in bulk boxes of 12 units (BX 12). This packaging style is designed for efficient inventory management and quick restocking in busy surgical environments.
Are these tools ready for immediate use?
While they are factory new, please note that they are supplied non-sterile. You should follow your facility’s standard protocols for preparing or sterilizing instruments before introducing them into a sterile field.
