A little extra length can make a familiar instrument more comfortable to use without changing the way it handles. This 16.5 cm Mayo–Hegar needle holder keeps the standard straight jaws and traditional finger-ring grip of SKU 5403, but extends the overall length for clinicians who prefer a slightly longer reach during surgical suturing.
The ratchet secures the needle between adjustments, while the aligned jaws make it easy to maintain a direct working approach. Made from surgical-grade stainless steel, this version fits naturally into dental and oral surgery setups that use conventional ring-handle needle holders rather than spring-handle micro instruments.
It fills the gap between the compact 15 cm standard Mayo–Hegar and the longer 18–20 cm carbide models. Clinicians can keep the same familiar grip and standard jaw format while gaining a little more distance between their hand and the suture site.
