Sklarlite Derf Needle Holder, Serrated, 4-3/4 Inch
A lightweight 4-3/4 inch Derf needle holder from Sklarlite with a serrated, grooved jaw, used to hold fine suturing needles in delicate procedures in hospitals.
The Sklarlite Derf Needle Holder is a compact 4-3/4 inch instrument with a serrated jaw and central groove, built on Sklar's extra light Sklarlite platform. The Derf pattern is favoured for finer suturing work, such as plastic surgery, paediatric procedures and other delicate closures, where a smaller needle holder gives better precision than a larger general pattern.
The serrated jaw combined with the groove is designed to grip finer gauge suture needles securely, preventing rotation or slippage during placement, which matters most when working with the thin needles used in cosmetic and fine tissue closure. Building this needle holder on the extra light Sklarlite frame gives surgeons a lighter, more finely balanced instrument for the sustained fine motor control that delicate suturing demands over an extended procedure.
Manufactured by Sklar, it is designed for repeated clinical use and must be cleaned, inspected and sterilised between cases following the facility's standard reprocessing protocol. Plastic surgery, paediatric and general surgery units across the UAE and GCC that perform fine suturing commonly stock this lightweight Derf needle holder.
