Mathieu Foreign Body Forceps — French Hypospadias Surgeon

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.
