Derf Needle Holder 125mm (12.5cm)

Reference NH 10-125-01: Derf Needle Holder 125mm (12.5cm), supplied from the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue.

Mayo-Hegar dominates general surgery — its straight jaws and simple ratchet have made it the default needle holder pattern for more than a century. The Olsen-Hegar adds an integrated suture-cutting edge near the box lock, sparing the surgeon a scissors handover during continuous closure. The Mathieu uses a spring-loaded squeeze handle that lets a single hand release and re-grip the needle without the conventional ring-handle motion. The Castroviejo covers microsurgery with its spring-action handle and fine TC-tipped jaws under microscope magnification. Each pattern earns its place in a tray by the procedure it serves. Fizza manufactures all four primary patterns plus the specialty variants (Heaney, Crile-Wood, Derf, Jacobson) under ISO 13485:2016 with stainless and TC options.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting, mucosal-contact, and hollow-ware lines where corrosion resistance is the priority, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns where heat-treatable hardness matters, and 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless for high-load orthopedic and implant-handling applications. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under documented quality procedures aligned with ISO 13485:2016.
