Mayo Hegar Needle Holder cvd 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled grasping and manipulation of suture needles during tissue approximation, the curved Mayo Hegar provides reach into deeper operative fields where a straight holder would be awkward. The 28 cm length is suited for abdominal, pelvic, and other open procedures requiring extended reach or working across body cavities. Its robust jaw geometry is appropriate for heavy needles and denser tissues such as fascia, muscle, and midline closures where a secure, non-slip grip is critical.

Design & Configuration

The curved profile re-orients the needle axis to improve line-of-sight and access in confined spaces and at oblique angles. Short, sturdy jaws concentrate gripping force near the needle suture junction to minimize rotation and slippage. Ring handles with a positive ratchet allow incremental clamping pressure and sustained holding without manual compression, while the box-lock pivot offers long-term alignment and dependable hinge stability under repeated use.
