Hold-N-Cut Micro Needle Holder Scissors
The Hold-N-Cut is two instruments in one: a micro needle holder with an integrated suture scissors, designed by Dr. Dietmar Weng so the surgeon can tie and cut without changing instruments. In microsurgical flap and implant work, where every instrument exchange costs time, focus and sometimes the knot itself, that continuity matters. Made by Helmut Zepf in Germany, 17 cm, reference 41.015.17.

History: Who Invented the Hold-N-Cut Micro Needle Holder Scissors?
The Hold-N-Cut is a modern instrument with a named designer. Dr. Dietmar Weng — Privatdozent, specialist in implantology and prosthodontics, and Vice-President of the German Society of Dentistry and Oral Medicine (DGZMK) from 2013 to 2023 — was senior physician at the University of Würzburg from 1998 to 2004, which is why Helmut Zepf catalogues the instrument as the micro needle holder "model Würzburg, Hold-and-Cut, combined with scissors." It grew out of the microsurgical suturing techniques he taught there and later in his Starnberg practice: a needle holder that cuts, so the surgeon's hands never leave the field.

FAQ
Is the Hold-N-Cut a needle holder or a scissors?
Both. The jaws hold the needle for suturing; a scissors blade set behind the jaws cuts the suture once the knot is tied. Use it for micro suture only — it is not a utility cutter.
What suture sizes does it handle?
It is designed for microsurgical suture, typically 5-0 to 7-0. For heavier suture use a conventional needle holder and a Spencer or Surgical Scissors.
Can they be resharpened?
The scissors blade can be serviced through our micro-surgical sharpening service; the TC jaws are re-faced as part of the same service.
Where are these scissors made?
Every scissors in this collection is forged and finished by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik in Seitingen-Oberflacht, Germany — precision dental and surgical instruments since 1921 — and ships fast from our US warehouse.
