Mayo-Hegar needle holder 7 straight serrated jaws ring handle

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Mayo-Hegar needle holder is a 7-inch instrument designed to grasp and guide suture needles during surgical closure and repair. Its straight serrated jaws support a firm, controlled hold, while the ring handle provides a familiar grip for repeated instrument handling. The length offers useful reach without making the instrument unwieldy in the field. This configuration can support suturing workflows in cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery, where dependable needle positioning and deliberate manipulation are important. Tungsten carbide construction adds a durable working surface suited to routine professional instrument use.

Use Cases

• Grasping and positioning suture needles during cardiovascular closure and repair procedures.
• Supporting general surgery suturing tasks that require controlled needle placement and retrieval.
• Managing fine needle-handling steps in neurosurgical closure workflows.
• Assisting plastic surgery suturing where a straight jaw profile and ring-handle control support precise instrument handling.
