Mayo Hegar Needle Holder cvd 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to firmly grasp and control suture needles during placement of interrupted and continuous sutures, this curved Mayo Hegar is commonly used in general surgery, abdominal closure, gynecologic procedures, and other soft-tissue repairs where access to a deeper or angled field is required. The curved profile directs the needle tip into the operative plane while keeping the surgeon's hands clear of the wound, improving line-of-sight and ergonomics during knot placement.

Design & Configuration

The curved shank geometry provides improved reach into confined or deep surgical sites compared with the straight variant, allowing better approach angles for needle entry and exit. The Mayo Hegar pattern features short, sturdy jaws optimized to resist needle rotation and deformation. It is a dedicated needle-holding instrument (it does not include integrated scissors), so it is typically paired with suture scissors or stitch-cutting instruments for cutting and removal.
