Mayo-Hegar TC Needle Holder 16.0 cm

Engineered for confident needle security and precise suture placement in general surgery, the Mayo-Hegar TC Needle Holder 16.0 cm featuring a calibrated 16.0 cm profile ensures rock-solid needle stabilization during general surgical resections, tissue approximation, and abdominal cavity access. The calibrated jaw profile engages suture needles securely without slippage or rotational play when traversing fibrous fascia, adipose planes, and vascular bundles across standard and deep surgical operative exposures. Its responsive spring-action joint affords surgeon tactile sensitivity during delicate wound closure and anastomosis.

Manufactured from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with diamond-dusted or micro-serrated jaw profiles, the instrument maintains uniform clamping pressure without damaging delicate monofilament or braided suture needles. A precision box-lock articulation guarantees smooth, play-free opening and closing dynamics, supported by a multi-step calibrated ratchet that delivers positive tactile locking. The non-reflective satin matte finish prevents optical reflections under intense surgical luminaires, and the ergonomically counterbalanced finger rings reduce hand strain during prolonged suturing.

Built to withstand the stringent reprocessing cycles of Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSD), this instrument is fully validated for repeated steam autoclave sterilization protocols at 134°C (273°F) and automated ultrasonic cleaning. Fully compliant with ISO 13485:2016 quality management systems and CE medical directives, it provides hospitals and surgical clinics with direct manufacturer traceability. As a premier United Surgical instrument, it delivers dependable clinical longevity, corrosion resistance, and verified biocompatibility for high-throughput operating theatre environments.
