Hegar Cervical Dilator — Uterine Sound, Double Ended

Reference GY 12-350-00: Hegar Cervical Dilator — Uterine Sound, Double Ended, supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Alfred Hegar was a nineteenth-century German gynecologist who developed the original needle holder during his work on vaginal hysterectomy. Modern Hegar needle holders — and the related Mayo-Hegar pattern — are the standard instrument for suturing across general, gynecological, and obstetric surgery. The defining features are the box-lock joint, integrated ratchet for hands-free needle holding, and cross-hatched jaws that grip the needle without rotation. Lengths of 14 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm, and 20 cm cover most surgical needs; longer (25 cm+) variants are used in deep pelvic and cardiac surgery. Tungsten carbide jaw inserts dramatically extend service life and are standard in professional-grade variants.

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.
