Sklar TC Hegar Vascular Needle Holder
A 6-3/4 inch tungsten carbide needle holder used to grip fine suturing needles securely during vascular and cardiac surgical closure.
The Sklar TC Hegar Vascular Needle Holder combines the classic Hegar pattern jaw with tungsten carbide inserts, giving a firmer, more durable grip on fine gauge needles used in vascular anastomosis and other cardiovascular closure work. At six and three quarter inches, it is sized for close, precise work on vessels and grafts where the surgeon needs tactile feedback rather than a heavy, general purpose grip.
The tungsten carbide jaw surface resists wear and maintains its holding power over more sterilization cycles than a plain stainless steel jaw, which matters given how frequently a needle holder is used within a single vascular case. This listing spans two variants of the pattern to suit different suturing techniques and surgeon preference.
Vascular and cardiac surgeons in hospital operating theatres rely on this instrument as a core part of a vascular surgery tray. As a reusable instrument with tungsten carbide inserts, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between cases.
