Sklar Derf Needle Holder, Serrated
The Sklar Derf needle holder is a small, serrated needle holder used to grip suture needles securely during fine suturing work in surgery and minor procedures.
The Sklar Derf needle holder is a compact surgical instrument used to hold and guide suture needles during wound closure. Its shorter length and serrated jaws with a grooved surface give the operator a secure, controlled grip on fine needles, which makes it a favourite for delicate work such as plastic surgery, ophthalmic procedures and paediatric suturing where precision matters more than reach.
The box lock ratchet mechanism allows the jaws to be locked closed, so the instrument holds the needle steady between passes without constant hand pressure. At 4-3/4 inches, it is one of the shorter needle holders in a typical instrument set, complementing longer holders used for deeper work. Surgeons, plastic surgeons and scrub teams rely on instruments like this one across hospitals, day surgery centres and specialist clinics.
As a reusable stainless steel tool, it withstands repeated sterilisation and is a common line item in general surgical instrument trays and procurement lists.
