Dental Forceps

Mayo-Hegar Forceps are a type of surgical instrument commonly used in medical and dental procedures. These forceps are named after the Mayo Clinic and William Stewart Halsted, a prominent American surgeon.

In this context:

• Mayo-Hegar Forceps: This indicates the type of forceps, which combine the features of Mayo scissors and Hagar needle holders. They typically have a scissor-like design with a serrated jaw and a built-in needle holder, allowing for multiple functions in one instrument.

Mayo-Hegar Forceps are commonly used for tasks such as holding, manipulating, or suturing tissues during surgical procedures. The combination of scissor blades and a needle holder in a single instrument streamlines certain aspects of surgery, providing convenience and efficiency to the surgeon or dentist. These forceps are particularly useful in situations where the surgeon needs both cutting and holding capabilities without switching between different instruments.
