Mayo-Hegar needle holder
The image shows a Mayo-Hegar needle holder measuring 175 mm (7 inches) in length.
This model features a heavy pattern design with cross-serrated jaws (illustrated in the diagram at the top right), ensuring powerful gripping strength and enhanced control of surgical needles.
The heavy jaws are particularly effective for handling larger suture needles and denser tissues, minimizing slippage during suturing.
The instrument includes finger ring handles for stable manipulation and a ratchet locking mechanism near the handles, which enables surgeons to secure the needle without continuous finger pressure.
The 7-inch length provides extended reach, making this heavy-pattern Hegar needle holder well-suited for deeper operative fields or procedures requiring greater leverage and control.
It is commonly used in general surgery, orthopedic procedures, abdominal surgeries, and other demanding surgical applications.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the instrument is corrosion-resistant, sterilizable, and built for durability, making it a reliable choice for repeated use in surgical settings.
