Mayo Hegar Needle Holder cvd 20cm

Clinical Application

This curved Mayo Hegar needle holder is engineered to secure suture needles during placement and knot tying in medium- to deep-tissue procedures. The 20 cm length provides reach for abdominal and pelvic cavities while maintaining tactile control for tasks such as placing interrupted or running sutures, passing large or tapered needles, and controlling needle rotation through dense tissue. It is commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, orthopedics and trauma settings where a reliable, heavy-duty needle holder is required.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft alters the approach angle to the needle tip, improving visibility and line-of-sight in confined or deep operative fields. Short, stout jaws concentrate gripping force at the needle body to minimize slippage and allow precise rotation. The box-lock with ratchet provides secure, adjustable clamping so the instrument can hold the needle without constant hand pressure, reducing fatigue during prolonged suturing or knot tying.
