Sklar Derf-Converse Needle Holder, Straight 5"
A 5 inch straight needle holder with a longitudinally serrated jaw, used to grip fine suture needles securely during delicate surgical closure.
The Sklar Derf-Converse Needle Holder is a needle holder measuring 5 inches, designed with a straight profile and a longitudinally serrated jaw surface to grip small, fine suture needles securely during delicate surgical work. This combination of size and jaw pattern makes it well suited to procedures requiring precise, fine suturing, such as microsurgery adjacent work, hand surgery, plastic surgery and other specialties where small needles and delicate tissue require a lighter, more controlled instrument than a standard general surgery needle holder.
Surgeons across these fields use a Derf-Converse pattern needle holder when a compact size and secure grip on fine needles are more important than the reach or strength of a larger instrument. The longitudinal serration pattern on the jaw is designed to hold the needle firmly while minimising the risk of damaging or bending it during repeated passes through tissue.
Facilities equipping a plastic surgery, hand surgery or fine suturing instrument set can include this needle holder as a dedicated tool for delicate closure work.
