Inside the Derf Needle Holder
The derf needle holder sits in Sklar's needle holders line, in the Econo Sterile Floor Grade range. This instrument feature short jaws and delicate serrations that hold small needles and commonly 5-0 and 6-0 sutures. Frequently utilized in ophthalmic, dental, or plastic procedures, the shorter length allows the Derf Needle Holder to be easily controlled in smaller surgical areas. It is made of stainless steel. Because it is sterile and disposable, it goes from the package to the field and is discarded after the case, which keeps turnover simple.
