Hegar-Vascular, Hegar, Stratte, Martini & Olsen-Hegar Tungsten Carbide Needle Holders

Our tungsten carbide (T.C.) needle holders are made for surgeons who need a firm needle grip, long jaw life and dependable performance through many sterilisation cycles. Each instrument has tungsten carbide jaw inserts set into a high-grade stainless steel body. The range includes micro profile holders for fine vascular and microsurgical suturing and standard profile holders for general and deep surgery. We supply hospitals, clinics, specialist surgeons, medical distributors and surgical instrument importers across Europe, North America and Asia.

This collection includes twenty-five products covering five classic patterns in lengths from 14 cm to 29 cm. The Hegar-Vascular pattern is offered in two series (ten products), so buyers can match the instrument to the needle, tissue and depth of the surgical field.

Choosing the Right Needle Holder:

• Hegar-Vascular (14-29 cm): A micro profile T.C. pattern for fine vascular, cardiovascular and microsurgical suturing. Shorter sizes (14-20.5 cm) suit superficial and mid-depth vessels, while the longer sizes (24-29 cm) reach deep thoracic, abdominal and pelvic fields.
• Hegar (20-23.5 cm): A strong standard profile needle holder for general, gynaecological, abdominal and orthopaedic surgery, with a firm hold on medium and larger needles.
• Stratte (23 cm): A long standard profile holder for deep tissue and heavier suturing. It is widely used in cardiovascular and thoracic procedures.
• Martini (14-20 cm): A slender pattern with micro profile jaws, made for fine suturing with small needles in vascular, plastic, hand and general surgery.
• Olsen-Hegar (14.5-19 cm): A combined needle holder and suture scissors that lets the surgeon suture and cut in one instrument, which saves time in general surgery, gynaecology and veterinary work. (Confirm that your range has scissors; see tip 6.)
• Micro or standard profile: Choose micro profile for fine needles and delicate tissue, and standard profile for general suturing, larger needles and deeper work.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Tungsten carbide jaw inserts: Very hard and wear-resistant, giving excellent needle grip and a much longer jaw life than standard steel jaws.
• Secure needle control: Reduces needle rotation, twisting and slipping, even with very fine needles.
• Micro and standard profiles: Jaw sizes matched to different needle sizes and surgical tasks.
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel body: Withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation, ultrasonic cleaning and chemical disinfection.
• Smooth, reliable ratchet: Consistent locking action reduces hand fatigue during long procedures.
• Ergonomic handling: Balanced weight and comfortable finger rings for accurate control.
• Non-glare finish: Reduces reflection under operating lights.
