Key Features of the Mayo – Hegar Needle Holder

• Serrated jaws for a secure, non-slip hold on the needle
• Smooth-acting box lock for consistent, fatigue-free handling
• Available in 16cm, 18cm, and 20cm lengths
• Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts available for extended edge life and a firmer grip

Who Uses This Instrument, and Why

General, orthopedic, and specialty surgeons reach for this instrument regularly, because its serrated jaw design keeps a firm, controlled hold on the needle throughout suturing. Since sizes and material vary, professionals can select the version that best fits their setting, technique, and patient needs. Tungsten Carbide inserts are favored for high-volume use, since the carbide holds its bite longer than plain stainless jaws.

Care and Maintenance

Clean and dry this instrument after each use to protect its long-term performance. Wash it with a neutral pH detergent, rinse thoroughly, and then follow your facility’s sterilization protocol. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, since they can dull the finish over time. With proper care, it holds its accuracy and lasts through years of routine use.
