Frequently asked questions
Is this instrument safe for use with latex allergies?
Yes, the Surgi-OR Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder is guaranteed to be free from natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for environments with latex-sensitive patients or staff.
Does the cross-serrated jaw provide a reliable grip?
Absolutely. The jaws are specifically engineered with a cross-serrated surface and a central groove. This design is optimized to provide maximum surface contact, ensuring that larger and heavier suture needles are held securely without slipping during deep tissue procedures.
Is this needle holder built to withstand long-term use?
This instrument is crafted from durable, high-quality stainless steel and is classified as Surgi-OR mid-grade, designed specifically to be a reusable tool that stands up to the rigors of frequent sterilization and use in professional operating rooms.
Can this be used for both human and veterinary procedures?
Yes, its versatile, robust design makes it equally effective for both human and large animal surgical applications, providing consistent performance across various surgical specialties.
Does it feature a secure locking mechanism?
