Mayo Hegar Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide, 13cm

The Mayo Hegar Needle Holder Tungsten Carbide 13cm (5 inches) is a compact, ring-handled suturing instrument fitted with tungsten carbide jaw inserts for superior needle grip and extended working life. Tungsten carbide (TC) jaws are significantly harder than standard stainless steel jaws, providing a more secure needle hold with less hand pressure and maintaining grip performance for far longer before jaw resurfacing is needed. At 13 cm in length, this instrument is designed for anterior intraoral suturing where a shorter, more controlled instrument improves access and reduces handle interference near the lip and cheek tissues.
