The delicate pattern of the Mayo-Hegar keeps the familiar handle and ratchet but narrows the jaws. The finer tip holds small needles securely without crushing them and gives better visibility of the needle point, making it suitable for finer suturing in general and plastic surgery.

Design features

• Cross-hatched jaw serrations for a secure needle hold
• Three-position ratchet
• Box joint construction
• Ring handles for controlled rotation while suturing
• Lengths 16, 18 and 20 cm

Typical applications

• Suturing in general surgery
• Wound closure
• Instrument sets for general and specialist surgery

Care

Match the needle size to the jaw pattern to avoid damaging needle or jaws.
