Mayo-Hegar needle holder 18 heavy straight serrated TC jaws gold ring handle

Confident Needle Control with Extended Reach

The Mayo-Hegar needle holder is a surgical instrument used to grasp, guide, and control suture needles during tissue closure and repair. Its 18-inch length provides extended reach for work within deeper or less accessible operative fields, while the heavy straight profile supports deliberate needle handling across cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery workflows. Serrated tungsten carbide jaws are designed to engage the needle securely, and the gold ring handle provides a recognizable grip format for controlled instrument manipulation. This specialty-neutral design supports consistent suture handling without limiting use to a single surgical application.

Use Cases

• Grasping and positioning suture needles during cardiovascular procedures where extended instrument reach is useful.
• Controlling needles during general surgery closure and repair tasks.
• Managing sutures in neurosurgical workflows that require a long, straight needle holder profile.
• Supporting needle handling during plastic surgery repair and closure procedures.
• Using the serrated jaws to maintain contact with a needle while advancing or withdrawing it through tissue.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the serrated tungsten carbide jaws, straight profile, and ring handle before use for visible wear, damage, or impaired alignment.
• Handle the jaws carefully to protect their working surfaces and avoid using the needle holder for tasks outside its intended purpose.
• Store the instrument in a manner that helps prevent contact damage to the jaws and handle.
