Similar to Olsen-Hegar needle holders, Foster-Gillies have a scissor section included in the jaw for cutting suture. The needle holding section has cross sectional serrations to improve grip on the needle and prevent slippage. The ring designed for thumb placement is characteristically curved resulting in an ergonomic suture experience, and allowing for very precise suturing. Unlike other needle holders, these do not have a ratchet locking mechanism. Available in left and right handed variations. The gold rings indicate the instruments are made of stainless steel with a layer of Tungsten Carbide bonded to the working surface. Tungsten Carbide next to diamond is the hardest material. This increases the cutting efficiency and durability of the instrument.
