For suturing work where a longer instrument feels more comfortable, this 18 cm Mayo–Hegar extends the traditional ring-handle pattern without changing its straight jaw configuration. Tungsten carbide gripping surfaces give the needle a wear-resistant point of contact, while the ratchet allows the instrument to maintain its hold between passes.
The 18 cm length allows the clinician to hold the instrument a little farther from the suturing site when access is limited. Its stainless steel construction, finger-ring handles and locking ratchet retain the traditional Mayo–Hegar handling style.
It offers both the longer 18 cm reach and the durability of carbide gripping surfaces without requiring a change in basic handling technique. Clinicians accustomed to a Mayo–Hegar can keep the same ring-handle and ratchet action while choosing the working distance that suits their approach.
