Mayo Hegar Needle Holder, German Stainless Steel, with Tungsten Carbide Inserts (5.5 inch)

The item was received much faster than expected. It has the gold colored handles to indicate the tungsten inserts for durability, i have not tested it's durability but i can see the color diffidence in the metals. it has a closed hinge with no screws and is stamped German Stainless Steel. it should last a long time.My only issue with the product is that all needle holders have a notch on the center of the teeth to help grab curved surgical needles this product did not, i do not know if that was a defect in just mine or if it is in all of the needle holders from this seller.
