Derf Needle Holder

The Derf Needle Holder features short jaws and delicate serrations that hold small needles and more commonly 5-0 and 6-0 sutures. In ophthalmic, dental, or plastic procedures, surgeons frequently use the Derf Needle Holder due to its shorter length, which enables easy control in smaller surgical areas. This ratcheted instrument has straight, serrated tips with a central groove, allowing surgeons to have precise control in these more confined surgical regions.
