The All New Needle Driver

This 6" Needle Driver - Scissors combination eliminates all the problems associated with other needle holder-scissors combinations, such as the Gillies and Olsen-Hegar.  Once you've made your instrument tie, simply guide the suture into the slot located at the front of the needle holder.  Then guided by the suture, the needle holder is easily and safely lowered to the knot, which stops the instruemtn from going any further.

Cuts precise tag lengths

Used one way, the NDS stops with the blade exactly 2, mm from the knot, so the suture is cut, leaving a 2mm tag.  Used the opposite way, the NDS stops with the blade flush with the knot.  If a longer tag is desired, just slide the NDS down to the knot and back away slowly until the desired length is achieved.

Protects needle holder from scissors

With ordinary combination instruments, it is easy (and common) to sever the suture from the needle when attempting to grasp the needle.  Another problem with ordinary instruments is that the scissors must be kept at a distance from the needle holder portion to avoid accidental cutting of the suture.  If the operative site is subsurface, use of the ordinary scissors portion can cause the needle holder to pinch or tear delicate tissue and vessels.  That's because the act of using the rear of the instrument to cut (instead of the front) violates basic fundamentals of surgery.

Up front where they belong

The PSI NDS eliminates these dangers by having the scissors portion upfront and protected, so the blade is not exposed to the jaws of the needle holder.  This eliminates the chance of accidental laceration of tissue and avoids accidental severance of the suture.
