Precautions While Handling Derf Needle Ho

Grasp small needles with the tip of the Derf Holder to ensure secure gripping. The distance should not exceed 2/3rd of the shaft from the needle tip as it maximizes the chances of slippage.

Don’t use the Derf Holder for grasping large needles, as it is only designed for Derf handling small needles.

Hold the Needle Holder in a tripod manner using the thumb, index, and ring finger.

Don’t apply too much force on the needles to prevent breaking or bending.

Manufacturing Material of Derf Holder

The instrument is ideally manufactured with German stainless steel and tungsten carbide inserts. Both materials are cleaned and maintained with different methods.

After bringing the surgical tools out of the operation theater, clean them in 10 to 20 minutes. The tools used in the surgical procedure contain stains of body fluids or blood.

Clean After Use Inspect Before Storing

Inspect each part of the instrument after a thorough sterilization process. The jaws, joints, or handles may get damaged due to the application of force and improper handling during surgical procedures.
