Description

The Sklar TC Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder is a ratcheted, finger ring instrument available in a wide range of lengths, and used in multiple types of surgical procedures. Due to it's versatility, it is one of the most commonly used surgical tools for both human and animal procdures, typically with larger, heavier suture needles because of it's wide jaws. Shorter lengths of the instrument may be used in oral, gynecological, or dermatological procedures, as well as with small animals. Larger lengths may be used for deep tissue suturing such as in bariatric procedures, or in large animal procedures. Sklar permanently bonds the tungsten carbide inserts to the jaws of the instrument which maximizes control and precision. This product is straight with cross-serrated jaws, featuring a central groove where the needle can be held, and a length of 12 inches. This product may also be known as a Masson needleholder.
