Mayo-Hegar needle holder 12 straight serrated jaws ring handle

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Mayo-Hegar needle holder is a hand-held surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its 12-inch length supports a longer reach, while the straight serrated jaws provide a firm working interface for controlled needle handling. The ring handle format supports familiar instrument manipulation during procedures in cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, and neurosurgery. This configuration can help maintain a steady suturing workflow where dependable grasping and access are important. Its focused needle-holder design keeps the instrument suited to routine needle control rather than tissue manipulation or general dissection tasks.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide suture needles during closure and repair procedures.
• Support suturing tasks requiring the reach provided by a 12-inch instrument.
• Use the straight serrated jaws for controlled needle positioning during cardiovascular procedures.
• Support general surgery suturing workflows with a familiar ring-handle format.
• Assist with needle handling in neurosurgical procedures where deliberate instrument control is required.
