Nasal Specula

The needle-holder after Mathieu does not have a two-finger handle, it stretches across the hand of the person sewing with a spring

The needle-holder after Mathieu is much lighter than the one after Hegar/Olsen. Due to its wedge-shaped profile, it is less suited for deep sutures, its benefit lies in the quicker, easier handling. With sutures that require much changing of hand-position (continuous seams, anastomosis, etc.), time-savings can be achieved with less effort.

Needle-holder after Hegar/Olsen with two-finger grip, riveted hinge and lock.

It is designed like forceps in its style, straight and has a waffle-design on the jaws. The handle is approx. 2 fingers long and the hinge is riveted. A ratchet-lock is at the end. Suited for deep-surgery with relatively small surgical opening.

The relatively long, slim needle-holder guarantees secure handling of the needle without limiting the view of the surgical area.

Optional version with shears behind the jaws for severing threads.

Optionally with or without carbide insert
