Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder 240mm (24cm) — catalogue reference NH 10-145-05.

The Mayo-Hegar needle holder combines two surgical lineages: the Mayo brothers’ robust-instrument design philosophy and Alfred Hegar’s nineteenth-century work on uterine surgery. Hegar developed the original needle holder for vaginal hysterectomy; the Mayo Clinic surgeons refined it into the modern pattern. The defining features are the box-lock joint, fine cross-hatched jaws that grip the needle without rotation, and integrated ratchet for hands-free needle holding. Tungsten carbide insert variants extend service life dramatically — TC-tipped Mayo-Hegars remain sharp through thousands of autoclave cycles where standard stainless tips dull. The 15 cm and 18 cm lengths are most common.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting, mucosal-contact, and hollow-ware lines where corrosion resistance is the priority, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns where heat-treatable hardness matters, and 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless for high-load orthopedic and implant-handling applications. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under documented quality procedures aligned with ISO 13485:2016.
