Hegar-Baumgartner NH serrated 5 1/2

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The Hegar-Baumgartner NH serrated 5 1/2" is a needle holder designed to grasp, control, and guide suture needles during general surgical procedures. Its serrated gripping surface supports dependable needle engagement for routine suturing tasks, while the 5 1/2" length provides a practical working profile for controlled handling at the operative site. As part of the needle-holder family, it helps organize the suturing step by keeping needle manipulation separate from direct hand contact. The instrument is suited to surgical workflows that require deliberate needle placement, repositioning, and retrieval under standard facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide suture needles during general surgical closure.
• Reposition a needle between passes while maintaining controlled instrument handling.
• Support routine suturing tasks where serrated jaws are used to engage the needle.
• Retrieve and manage the needle during the operative workflow without direct hand contact.
