Derf TC Needle Holder - 12cm (MH8-4TC)

• A premium-grade, handcrafted surgical Derf needle holder from the MeisterHand line

• It is characterized by its tungsten carbide (TC) jaw inlays, which offer superior durability and grip compared to standard stainless steel

Uses

• Specialized Surgical Fields: 

• Frequently used in ophthalmic, dental, plastic, and dermatologic surgery

• Fine Suturing: 

• Optimized for grasping and guiding small suture needles, commonly sizes 5-0 and 6-0

• Confined Areas: 

• Its compact size allows for easy manipulation in small surgical sites where larger holders would be too cumbersome

• Multi-Disciplinary:

Features

• Tungsten Carbide Inlays: 

• Bonded to German stainless steel, these inlays are significantly harder than standard steel and provide a longer-lasting, sharper grip

• Precision-Milled Jaws: 

• Features serrated jaws with 4,000 teeth per square inch, forming sharp pyramid shapes for a positive, non-slip grip on needles and sutures

• Compact Dimensions: 

• Measures 4.75 inches (12.1 cm) in total length with straight jaws

• Gold-Plated Handles: 

• Identified by gold finger rings, a universal standard for instruments with tungsten carbide inserts

• Safety Engineering: 

• Features chamfered edges on the outside of the jaws to prevent accidental cutting of suture material and non-catch bevels around the box lock to prevent fraying

• Satin Finish: 

• Handcrafted with a satin finish to reduce glare under bright operating room lights

Benefits

• Enhanced Control & Precision:

• The short length and fine-milled teeth allow for precise control over the needle's trajectory

• Increased Longevity: 

• Tungsten carbide is designed to stay sharp and functional much longer than standard surgical instruments

• Superior Grip: 

• The high tooth count per square inch minimizes the risk of the needle twisting or slipping during suturing

• Reduced Suture Damage: 

• Beveled and chamfered edges help protect delicate sutures from structural damage or accidental snags

• Sterilization Ready: 

• The surgical-grade German steel construction is fully autoclavable and reusable
