Mathieu Needle Holder — 17 cm (17.0 cm)

Mathieu Needle Holder — 17 cm (17.0 cm) · SKU NH 10-220-02 — manufactured to ISO 13485:2016.

Mathieu needle holders are distinguished from the standard Mayo-Hegar by their squeeze-action handle design — the ratchet locks when the handles are squeezed together fully, and releases on a further squeeze. This single-handed operation appeals to surgeons working in confined spaces (oral surgery, deep cavity work) where the standard finger-ring Mayo-Hegar is cumbersome. The pattern is named for nineteenth-century French dental surgeon Paul Mathieu who developed it for intraoral suture work. Standard length is 14 cm. Tungsten carbide insert variants extend the working life of the jaw cross-hatching across thousands of autoclave cycles.

Sialkot has been the world’s primary cluster for surgical-instrument manufacturing since the late nineteenth century, when local steel workshops began supplying instruments to British military and civilian hospitals. Fizza Surgical’s facility continues that tradition, combining workshop craftsmanship with the metallurgy and quality systems modern medical regulation requires. Fizza products are exhibited at international medical-device trade fairs in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
