Mayo Hegar Needle Holder Straight 26.7 cm (10.5)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Mayo-Hegar needle holder is a 10 1/2-inch instrument used to grasp, position, and guide suture needles during surgical closure and repair. Its straight profile provides a direct line of handling, while serrated jaws are suited to maintaining contact with a needle during controlled manipulation. The ring handle supports a familiar grip and instrument control throughout suturing tasks. This configuration can fit the varied access and handling requirements of cardiovascular, general surgery, and neurosurgery workflows, helping teams manage needle placement with a purpose-built instrument from the Needle Holders category.
