Mayo Hegar Needle Holder Straight 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Mayo-Hegar needle holder 5 1/2" is a hand-held surgical instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its straight serrated jaws support a secure working hold, while the ring handle provides a familiar control format for positioning and release. The 5 1/2" length offers a practical balance of access and maneuverability for routine needle-handling tasks without adding unnecessary instrument length. Suitable for workflows in cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, and neurosurgery, this needle holder supports precise suture placement and consistent handling through common open surgical procedures.
