Mayo Hegar Grooved Jaw Needle Holder, 11.5cm

The Mayo Hegar Grooved Jaw Needle Holder 11.5cm (4.5 inches) is a compact ring-handled dental suturing instrument built on the Mayo Hegar frame and featuring a longitudinal center groove on the inner jaw face. The needle groove seats the suture needle in a fixed, repeatable position every time it is loaded, preventing needle rotation during tissue passage and delivering more consistent suture placement than standard flat-serrated jaws. At just 11.5 cm, this is the shortest version in the Mayo Hegar grooved jaw range – well suited for anterior intraoral suturing, pediatric patients, and patients with limited mouth opening where a shorter instrument length improves access and control.
