Derf Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 11.5 cm

The Derf Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 11.5 cm is a compact precision surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation of surgical needles during suturing, tissue approximation, and wound closure. Its smaller overall profile provides excellent maneuverability in procedures where the surgeon needs close access to the operative field and precise control over needle positioning. The Derf pattern is particularly useful for delicate suturing tasks requiring accurate and controlled instrument movements. With an overall length of 11.5 cm , this needle holder offers a practical configuration for superficial and confined surgical fields. Its compact size allows the surgeon to work close to the tissue without unnecessary instrument reach. This can help facilitate accurate needle positioning and controlled passage through tissue, particularly when working with smaller needles or performing fine sutures. The Perma Sharp™ working jaws are designed to provide secure engagement of the surgical needle while supporting controlled manipulation throughout the suturing process. Reliable needle control is important for maintaining the desired needle angle, guiding the needle through tissue, and achieving accurate tissue approximation. The precision working surfaces are intended to provide consistent handling during repeated needle-loading and suturing movements. The Derf needle holder can be incorporated into a range of surgical instrument sets where fine needle manipulation is required. Depending on the procedure, potential applications include soft-tissue closure, plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatological procedures, periodontal and oral surgery, gynecological procedures, and other delicate surgical interventions. The appropriate needle holder should always be selected according to the surgeon’s preferred technique, needle dimensions, suture material, tissue characteristics, and operative requirements. The compact design also makes the 11.5 cm Derf needle holder useful when close instrument control is more important than extended reach. Its manageable size can support precise hand movements and efficient needle manipulation in superficial or restricted operative areas. This makes it a practical option for surgeons who prefer a shorter needle holder for detailed suturing work. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , the Derf Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder is designed to provide strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Stainless steel construction supports repeated professional use and routine instrument reprocessing when appropriate cleaning and sterilization procedures are followed. Proper maintenance is important for preserving the precision of the jaws and mechanical components. After use, the instrument should be cleaned promptly according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-reprocessing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the jaws, hinge, and other functional surfaces where biological material can accumulate. Following cleaning, the instrument should be thoroughly rinsed and dried and inspected for proper jaw alignment, smooth operation, surface condition, and signs of wear or damage. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method suitable for reusable surgical instruments and consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions. Routine inspection, appropriate lubrication where applicable, and proper handling can help maintain the instrument’s working performance and extend its useful service life. The Derf Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 11.5 cm combines a compact precision design, Perma Sharp™ working jaws, and durable stainless steel construction to provide dependable needle control during delicate surgical procedures. Its practical size makes it a valuable addition to professional surgical instrument sets requiring accurate suturing and fine needle manipulation.
