Clinical Application
This Hegar-pattern needle holder is designed to secure suture needles during needle passage and knot-tying in a wide range of surgical procedures. The 24 cm length provides extended reach for working in deep cavities or across wider operative fields, making it useful in general surgery, gynecology, urology, and other specialties where needle control at a distance is required. Serrated jaws reduce needle slippage and help maintain needle orientation during controlled passes through tissue.
Design & Configuration
The instrument uses a traditional box-lock and finger-ring configuration to deliver stable, two-handed or single-handed control when driving needles. Serrated jaw surfaces increase friction against the needle body, minimizing rotation and slippage while allowing the surgeon to reposition the needle precisely. The elongated 24 cm shaft provides reach without compromising tactile control at the handles, supporting accurate needle placement in deeper sites.
