<p class="MsoNormal">The Needle Driver-Scissors (NDS), will replace the current
needle holder and scissor combinations such as the Olsen Hegar &amp; Gillies.
This product will become the standard since it adds another margin of safety.
Dr. Lasner, the inventor of the NDS, found a way to eliminate the chance of
accidental laceration of tissue and to avoid accidental severance of the
suture. Dr. Lasner states that it is accomplished by having the scissors up
front and protected so the blade is not exposed to the jaws of the needle
holder.</p>
