Hegar Needle Holder grooved 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed to control and drive suture needles during soft-tissue closure, this grooved Hegar-style needle holder is optimized for procedures that require reliable needle purchase at a distance. The 24 cm length provides additional reach for deeper wounds, obese patients, or procedures where the operator needs extended working length without sacrificing tactile feedback. Common uses include general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, and other open surgical cases where secure needle handling and controlled placement are essential.

Design & Configuration

The instrument follows the classic Hegar needle holder profile with grooved jaw faces to seat curved and straight needles firmly and minimize rotation during suture placement. Ring handles with a ratchet lock and box-lock hinge offer positive closure and hands-free retention of the needle when required. The extended shaft length increases reach while maintaining the leverage and control surgeons expect from a ring-handled driver.
