Sklar Wright Derf Needle Holder, Cross Serrated
A 5 inch straight needle holder from Sklar with a cross serrated, grooved jaw, used to grip fine suturing needles during delicate surgical closure in hospitals.
The Sklar Wright Derf Needle Holder is a 5 inch straight instrument with a cross serrated jaw and a central groove, designed to give a secure, non slip grip on fine suturing needles. The Derf pattern is a compact needle holder favoured in procedures that call for smaller, more delicate needles, such as plastic surgery, ophthalmic adjacent work, paediatric surgery and other fine tissue closure where a bulkier needle holder would be awkward to control.
The cross serrated jaw pattern combined with the groove helps hold rounder or finer gauge needles steady during suture placement, reducing the chance of the needle rotating or slipping mid stitch. Its straight profile suits general access closure work rather than the angled reach needed in deeper cavities.
Manufactured by Sklar from surgical grade stainless steel, it is intended for repeated clinical use and must be cleaned, inspected and sterilised between cases according to the facility's standard reprocessing protocol. Hospitals, plastic surgery units and general theatres across the UAE that perform fine suturing commonly stock this needle holder alongside larger patterns for a range of case needs.
