SMS instrument 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. Shorter length products may be used in oral, gynecological, or dermatological procedures, as well as with small animals. Larger lengths of this product may be used for deep tissue suturing such as in bariatric procedures, or in large animal procedures. The Mayo-Hegar needle holder is commonly used with larger, heavier suture needles because of it’s wide jaws. Tungsten carbide inserts also maximize control and precision.
Tungsten carbide inserts ensure firm holding of needles and sutures during wound closures in surgical procedures.
Tungsten Carbide Gold Plated Handle / Rings: Indicate the jaw portion contains tungsten carbide inserts. The needle holder is made out of stainless steel. The gripping portion of the jaws have two pieces (inserts) made out of the metal tungsten carbide. The tungsten carbide inserts are a harder metal
than stainless steel.
The advantages of tungsten carbide jaws on needle holders are:
1. They will not wear out as fast as stainless steel.
2. They grip the suture needle more precisely with less slippage.
Tungsten Carbide Material Information: The notable and rare combination of physical properties possessed by tungsten carbide makes it useful for a variety of applications. It is extremely strong and wear-resistant. There are only a few materials on earth that can be used to cut or engrave tungsten carbide, with industrial diamond abrasives being one of these. Its tensile strength is very high, but it is brittle under high pressures as a result. The melting point of tungsten carbide is also very high, at 5,200 degrees Fahrenheit (2,870 degrees C). To boil, it must be heated much further, to an astronomical 10,382 degrees Fahrenheit (6000 degrees C).
