Using a Mayo Hegar needle holder involves several steps:
Grasping: Hold the needle holder by inserting your thumb and ring finger into the finger rings, allowing your index and middle fingers to rest on the shaft for added control. Loading the Needle: Place the needle between the jaws, positioning it about one-third from the eye end. Close the jaws to secure the needle. Suturing: Use the needle holder to guide the needle through tissue, ensuring smooth and precise movements. The locking mechanism can be engaged to hold the needle in place when not in use.
