Cynamed TC Mayo Hegar Needle/Suture Holder Driver with Tungsten Carbide Inserts and Gold Rings - Premium Grade Instrument (6 in.)

I used this with curved upholstery needles to fix my sofa. Worked really well.

Yup. Theyre Mayos.

I just recently started school and these are perfect for me to practice my sewing skills

I needed a tool that would grip metal well, and lock into place while applying force. These are much better instruments for the task, than “jewelry pliers”.Thank You!

Good steel. A lasting one

I have tried the longer holders, ie. 10” and 8”, but really find the 7” to be the best for access. I secure it to the loop above my shirt’s front pocket flap and so it is there when I need it.

Bought this for sewing, mending and crafting when I have trouble getting needle through thick, dense or very tough fabrics like leather, heavy wt denim, hat bands etc. I do use a thimble, but had trouble pulling needle thru. Remembered occasionally using a needle driver to suture at work and thought “what the heck look on Amazon”. Bingo! Got exactly what I need and it was delivered quickly. Excellent grip on even the small needles!!

This is about my 60th purchase of Cynamed instruments. I teach surgical technique in a Tanzania and the equipment I used thus last time were 8” needle holders, 8” Debakey forceps, and Metzenbaum scissors. The equipment if first rate and looks for all intents like very expensive OR stainless. These are FANTASTIC for teaching and engineered with precision. Can’t attest to durability yet but will five that report in a year.
