Description

Sklarlite Derf Needle Holders feature short jaws and delicate serrations that hold small needles and commonly 5-0 and 6-0 sutures. Frequently utilized in ophthalmic, dental, or plastic procedures, the shorter length allows the Derf Needle Holder to be easily controlled in smaller surgical areas. Sklarlite instruments are a lighter version of standard Sklar instruments. A unique manufacturing process developed by Sklar shaves microns off standard and delicate pattern instruments while maintaining structural integrity and durability. This lightweight modification provides the surgeon with greater control and less fatigue. This product is straight with serrated tips, a central groove and a length of 4-3/4 inches.
