Hegar Needle Holder grooved 20cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to securely grasp, drive and control suture needles during tissue approximation and knot tying in open surgical procedures. The 20 cm length provides additional reach for deeper cavities or when working across a surgical field, making it useful in general surgery, gynecology, urology and other specialties where controlled needle handling and reliable locking are required.

Design & Configuration

Grooved jaws provide a positive seating surface for round and curved needles, reducing rotation and slippage while suturing. The ratchet locking handle permits incremental closure and hands‑free retention of the needle, allowing the surgeon to maintain consistent tension during passage and knot formation. The overall geometry balances reach and leverage to facilitate precise needle placement without excessive hand fatigue.
