Hegar Cervical Dilator — 7 mm, Single Ended

Hegar Cervical Dilator — 7 mm, Single Ended (Ref GY 12-340-13), manufactured at the Fizza Surgical facility in Sialkot, Pakistan.

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.

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.
