Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder 14 cm - Tungsten Carbide Jaws, Gold-Finish Rings
The Mayo-Hegar needle holder is a ring-handled surgical instrument for grasping and guiding curved suture needles during flap closure, extraction-site suturing, and intra-oral soft-tissue procedures. The tungsten-carbide jaw inserts give a durable, grit-patterned grip on 2-0 through 4-0 suture needles, and the box-lock joint with a multi-position ratchet lets the surgeon set precise closing tension one-handed. The gold-finish finger rings identify the instrument as a TC-equipped needle holder at a glance on a busy surgical tray, while the stainless jaws and shank withstand routine steam sterilisation. The 14 cm length is a comfortable default for most intra-oral closures and handles both anterior and posterior sites without fatigue.

What is a Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder used for?
A dental needle holder is a locking surgical instrument that grips a curved suture needle firmly so it can be driven through the gum and tied. Short, cross-hatched jaws stop the needle turning, and a ratchet or spring lock holds it without hand pressure. Ring-handled Mayo-Hegar and Crile-Wood patterns suit heavier sutures such as 3-0 and 4-0; spring-handled Castroviejo holders suit 5-0 to 7-0 microsurgery.
What is the difference between a needle holder and a hemostat?
A needle holder has short, strong, cross-hatched jaws that stop a curved needle rotating. A haemostat has longer, finer jaws with parallel grooves for clamping vessels and grasping tissue, and using it to drive needles damages it.
What is a Webster needle holder?
A Webster is a short, light ring-handled needle holder, around 12 to 13 cm, with fine jaws for small needles and sutures. It suits anterior work and small mouths.
