AMG Mayo Hegar Needle Holder
OR Quality, TC Jaw – 6" / 15.2cm

The Mayo Hegar Needle Holder is a heavy-duty surgical instrument used to securely grip and guide medium-to-large suture needles through tissue during wound closure. This 6" (15.2cm) OR-quality holder features tungsten carbide (TC) jaws, offering enhanced durability and a longer-lasting cutting and gripping edge compared to standard stainless steel jaws.

Cross-serrated jaws provide a non-slip, stable hold on heavy needles without cutting or clamping surrounding tissue, while the ratcheted handle locks the needle securely in place, helping reduce hand fatigue during longer procedures. Unlike the Olsen-Hegar variant, this needle holder has no integrated scissors, keeping it dedicated strictly to needle holding.
