Mayo Hegar Needle Holder cvd 15cm

Clinical Application

The curved Mayo Hegar needle holder is designed for grasping and driving suturing needles during tissue approximation and ligation in open surgical procedures. Its 15 cm length and curved shaft facilitate access to deeper or angled operative sites where a straight instrument would limit approach, making it suitable for general, abdominal, gynecologic and other soft‑tissue closures that require controlled needle rotation and firm, repeated clamping.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft provides an off‑axis approach that improves line of sight and needle orientation in confined or deep cavities. The hand‑held design with a ratchet-style locking mechanism enables sustained, adjustable grip force without continuous hand pressure, which helps with precise needle placement and reduces hand fatigue during longer suturing tasks. Serrated jaws increase friction against the needle body to prevent slippage while allowing quick release when the ratchet is opened.
