NES-3093

15 cm
What is it? The Delicate Needle Holder, T.C Gold (NES-3093) is a 15cm instrument fitted with gold-coated tungsten carbide inserts, purpose-built for gentle, precise handling of fine suture material.
Why “delicate” specifically? This pattern is designed around a finer, lighter-weight jaw geometry than general-purpose needle holders, reducing the risk of stressing or fraying delicate thread during repeated suturing passes.
What do the gold T.C. inserts contribute? They extend the jaw’s grip life considerably compared to plain stainless steel, letting the delicate jaw maintain a secure hold on the needle without needing a heavier, more aggressive tooth pattern.
How does 15cm compare to the compact Derf pattern? It offers a bit more reach than the 12cm Derf, useful for slightly deeper access while still maintaining fine, controlled handling.
What’s the construction? A stainless steel body with gold T.C. inserts, fully autoclavable and built for repeated sterilization cycles.
Who reaches for this pattern? Practitioners working with fine suture material in delicate maxillofacial closures, found among our maxillofacial surgery instruments collection.
