Derf-Converse Needle Holder
The Derf-Converse needle holder blends two small patterns into one short, fine instrument. It comes in 12.5 and 13 cm stainless steel.
Two short lengths
Both sizes suit close work in small fields. Then the 13 cm version adds a little leverage for firmer tissue. The 12.5 cm size feels almost like a pen in the hand.
Fine jaws
Narrow jaws hold small needles near the tip. Also, the slim profile keeps the suture line in view. A Derf-Converse needle holder rarely crowds the wound edge.
Plain stainless build
We offer this pattern in stainless steel only. So it stays a simple, affordable holder for everyday small closures. No gold carbide version sits in this listing.
Where it fits
Dermatology, dental and minor-procedure rooms suit this holder well. For example, it handles lip and eyelid skin sutures with ease. Clinics often buy two so one can stay in reprocessing. Also, the short body stores easily in a suture drawer. Next time you restock, compare it with our Derf pattern.
Reprocessing Derf-Converse needle holder
Rinse the Derf-Converse needle holder under cool water to lift protein. Next, clean it in an ultrasonic bath with the ratchet open. Finally, dry it and apply a drop of instrument lubricant to the joint.
