ABSTRACT:
A combined surgical needle holder and scissors to be used in suturing procedures. The instrument includes a pair of arms which are pivotally connected together at a location intermediate their ends. A flat clamping jaw is associated with each arm and is spaced from a first end of the arm. As the arms are pivoted, the jaws are brought into clamping relation to clamp a surgical needle. A scissors blade is formed on each arm and is located between the clamping jaw and the distal end of the arm. The scissor blades are constructed to be moved into overlapping cutting relation when the distal ends of the arms are moved toward each other.
