Hegar Baumgartner Needle Holder 12.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure needle control during soft-tissue approximation, this needle holder is optimized for procedures that require precise placement of suture in moderately deep or confined operative fields. The combination of short jaws and a 12.5 cm overall length makes it well suited for gynecologic and obstetric repairs, perineal and pelvic procedures, and general surgical suturing where tactile feedback and controlled needle rotation are important. Select this pattern when you need reliable holding strength for interrupted and running sutures with fine to medium suture sizes.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s ratchet locking handle provides a secure, hands-free grip on the needle once engaged, reducing the need for continuous finger pressure and helping to minimize hand fatigue during prolonged suturing. Short, textured jaws concentrate clamping force near the needle shaft to reduce slippage while preserving tactile feedback for delicate needle positioning. The 12.5 cm length offers a balance between reach into moderate-depth cavities and precise manual control at the tip, making it a versatile option for a range of clinical scenarios.
