derf / tungsten carbide

DESCRIPTION

• Tungsten carbide Derf needle holders feature short jaws and a fine cross-hatched pattern on the jaws that are suitable for small suture needles (commonly 5-0 and 6-0 sutures). Often utilized in ophthalmic, dental, or plastic surgery procedures. The tungsten carbide inserts in the jaws provide a better feel of the suturing procedure and a secure grip on the suture needles.
