Is this product safe for latex-sensitive environments?
Absolutely. The Econo Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder is manufactured with 100% latex-free materials, ensuring it is safe for use with patients or staff who have natural rubber latex sensitivities.
What is the primary material used in this instrument?
This needle holder is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, providing the durability and professional-grade performance expected of Sklar surgical instruments.
How many units are included in each purchase?

Are these instruments suitable for animal surgical procedures?
Yes, the 7-inch Mayo-Hegar design is highly versatile and frequently utilized in both human and large animal surgical procedures where a secure grip on heavy needles is required.
Is the ratchet mechanism reliable for long procedures?
The instrument features a built-in locking ratchet mechanism, which allows the surgeon to securely lock the needle in place, reducing hand fatigue and ensuring consistent control throughout the suturing process.
Does the device arrive pre-sterilized?
No, these instruments are supplied non-sterile. They are intended to be processed according to your facility’s specific sterilization protocols prior to the initial surgical use.
What is the intended usage classification for this tool?
This model is part of Sklar’s ‘Econo’ floor-grade line, which is specifically designed for single-use (disposable) applications to help clinical environments manage costs without sacrificing surgical performance.
Is this instrument compatible with standard surgical sets?
Yes, its standard 7-inch length and classic Mayo-Hegar profile make it an excellent, reliable addition to standard surgical instrument trays requiring a straight, ratcheted needle holder.
What benefits does the central groove provide?
The central groove running along the inner midline of the jaws helps to stabilize the needle, effectively preventing it from slipping or rotating while you are navigating through dense tissue.
