FAQs
What is a Mayo Hegar needle holder used for?
It holds and drives the suture needle when closing surgical sites, most commonly after extractions, implant placement and minor oral surgery. The ratchet keeps the needle locked in place between passes.
How is it different from a Mathieu needle holder?
The Mayo Hegar uses scissor-style ring handles for precise, deliberate control, while the Mathieu uses a palm-squeeze ratchet for faster one-handed release. Which suits you is largely a matter of preference and case type.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, heat-treated for jaw hardness and long service life, and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
Stocked alongside Mathieu, Halsey, Crile Wood and Castroviejo needle holders.
