The image shows a Hegar needle holder measuring 205 mm (8 inches) in length. This instrument features a heavy pattern design with cross-serrated jaws (illustrated in the diagram at the top right), providing maximum gripping strength and stability. The jaw design is ideal for firmly holding larger suture needles during procedures involving dense or thick tissues, reducing the risk of needle rotation or slippage.
It has ring handles for stable manipulation and a ratchet locking mechanism near the handles, allowing the needle to be held securely without constant finger pressure. The 8-inch length makes this Hegar needle holder especially suitable for deep surgical fields or situations where extended reach and greater leverage are needed. It is commonly used in orthopedic, abdominal, and thoracic surgeries, as well as other demanding surgical applications that require strength and precision. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the instrument is durable, corrosion-resistant, and fully sterilizable, ensuring long-lasting performance in surgical environments.
