Mayo Hegar Needle Holder delicate 18cm

Clinical Application

The delicate 18 cm Mayo Hegar needle holder is designed to provide controlled needle manipulation during suturing tasks that require precision rather than heavy tissue traction. Its slimmer jaw geometry and moderate length make it suitable for delicate soft-tissue and mucosal closures encountered in general surgery, ENT, plastic/reconstructive procedures, and pediatric cases where fine needle placement and minimal tissue distortion are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The instrument combines a traditional Mayo Hegar body with a delicate jaw profile: a narrow jaw face and cross-serrations that secure suture needles without cutting or deforming them. The 18 cm overall length offers a balance of reach and tactile control—long enough to access deeper suture lines but short enough to maintain precise finger-tip manipulation. A box-lock hinge and ratchet handle provide consistent shaft alignment and repeatable needle clamping during knot tying.
