Mathieu Needle Holder — 14 cm (14.0 cm)

Catalogue reference NH 10-220-01 — Mathieu Needle Holder — 14 cm (14.0 cm), supplied to hospitals, distributors, and OEM partners.

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.

Fizza Surgical International has manufactured surgical instruments at its Sialkot, Pakistan facility since 1980 — more than four decades of continuous operation under one family ownership. The factory holds ISO 13485:2016 certification for medical devices and CE marking under EU MDR 2017/745, the regulatory baseline European hospitals and distributors require. FDA establishment registration covers exports to the United States.
