ABSTRACT:
A combination needle holder and suture cutter medical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes a first handle pivotally joined to a second handle to define opposing jaws at a distal end of the surgical instrument, each of the jaws including a distal clamping portion and at least one of the jaws includes a blade portion proximate a clamping portion. The blade portion includes a recessed cutting edge so as to define an aperture between the jaws in a closed position of the surgical instrument. The distal clamping portions cooperate to clamp a needle and the recessed cutting edge is adapted to independently sever a suture.
