This Olsen Hegar Needle holder has a scissor built just behind the serrated gripping part of the jaw and is 5-1/2" in length. We regularly stock 5-1/2" and 6-1/2". If you would like to have the larger 7-1/2" size it is a special order (min. 12 pieces). Contact us to order and pay. Special orders take about 2-3 weeks minimum. Stainless steel, "regular grade" which means it is for regular use, not for an operating room. Imported.
