Mayo-Hegar needle holder
The image shows a Hegar needle holder measuring 205 mm (8 inches) in length.
This model features a heavy pattern construction with cross-serrated jaws (illustrated in the diagram at the top right), offering maximum gripping strength and stability during suturing.
The heavy jaws are specifically designed for larger suture needles and procedures involving dense or tough tissues, ensuring firm control and minimizing needle slippage.
It is equipped with finger ring handles for precise manipulation and a ratchet locking mechanism near the handles, allowing secure needle placement without constant finger pressure.
The 8-inch length makes this instrument particularly suitable for deep surgical fields or operations requiring extended reach and high leverage.
It is frequently used in orthopedic, abdominal, thoracic, and other demanding surgical procedures where strength and control are critical.
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the Hegar heavy pattern needle holder is corrosion-resistant, sterilizable, and highly durable, making it ideal for repeated use in surgical environments.
