Mayo Hegar Needle Holder delicate 20cm

Clinical Application

This delicate Mayo Hegar needle holder is designed to grasp and manipulate suture needles during soft-tissue approximation and closure. The fine-jawed profile provides controlled, tactile handling for delicate-to-medium needles used in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT, gynecology, and other cases where precise needle placement and minimal tissue disturbance are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The 20 cm length balances reach and fingertip control for both deep and superficial suturing sites. A ring-handle layout with a ratchet lock allows incremental locking to secure the needle without continuous hand tension. The box-lock hinge maintains jaw alignment under load, while the delicate, fine-serrated jaws deliver secure, slip-resistant needle purchase with minimal bulk at the tip—helpful when working in confined fields or with small needles.
