Mayo Hagar Needle Holder with Groove Curved 160mm

Description

The Mayo Hegar Needle Holder with Groove Curved 160 mm (6.3″) is a specialized, surgical-grade instrument designed for securely gripping, manipulating, and driving suture needles during delicate medical, dental, and minor surgical procedures. Featuring a gently curved jaw profile combined with cross-serrations and a central needle-retention groove, this instrument allows for optimal needle stability and enhanced maneuverability when operating in restricted or contoured surgical fields.

Key Clinical Applications

• Curved Trajectory Suturing: The curved jaw profile follows the natural arc of curved suture needles, making it easier to pass sutures smoothly through mucosal, dermal, and fibrous tissue.

• Oral & Periodontal Surgery: Provides improved angle of access around anatomical corners, tuberosities, and posterior areas of the oral cavity where straight instruments hinder visibility.

• Minor Surgical & Cutaneous Closure: Ideal for precise tissue approximation in minor surgical interventions, facial suturing, and mucosal flap adaptation (suited for 3-0, 4-0, and 5-0 suture threads).

• Controlled Needle Handling: Prevents needle slipping, twisting, or rotation during continuous or interrupted suture placement.

Technical Specifications

Detailed Functional & Design Features

1. Curved Profile with Central Longitudinal Groove

The gently curved jaw geometry conforms naturally to the curved radius of surgical needles, providing better line-of-sight and precise rotational leverage. The inner faces feature cross-hatched serrations integrated with a central longitudinal groove that cradles the needle shaft to eliminate lateral rolling and needle slippage under tissue resistance.

2. Precision Ratchet Locking System

Equipped with a multi-step interlocking ratchet near the finger rings, allowing clinicians to clamp needles at varying degrees of tension. This ensures a firm, hands-free hold on the needle during maneuvers, significantly reducing hand strain.

3. Ergonomic 160 mm Compact Shaft

At 160 mm, this instrument balances reach and fine tactile feedback, providing maximum maneuverability in small operative fields without blocking light or sightlines.

4. Durable Biocompatible Construction

Forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel to resist rust, pitting, and joint stiffness. Built to withstand repeated ultrasonic baths and autoclave sterilization cycles.
