Derf Needle Holder Straight 12.0 cm (4.7) TC (Gold Handle)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Diverse Surgical Workflows

The Derf needle holder is a 4 3/4-inch instrument designed to grasp, guide, and control needles during suturing. Its straight profile supports a clear, direct approach, while serrated TC jaws are named for secure needle engagement during routine handling. The gold ring handle provides a familiar control point for instrument manipulation. This configuration can support needle handling in cardiovascular, general, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery workflows where a compact needle holder is appropriate to the task. Its focused design helps organize suturing steps while maintaining practical access and visibility around the operative field.
