Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder cvd w/catch 9cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled handling and precise placement of fine needles in microsurgical procedures. The curved Castroviejo micro needle holder is commonly used in ophthalmic surgery, reconstructive microsurgery, and any operative setting requiring delicate suture manipulation in confined fields. The integrated catch permits secure temporary locking of the jaws for stable needle control during knot tying and suture placement.

Design & Configuration

The curved profile provides improved sightlines and instrument orientation when working in narrow operative corridors, allowing the shaft to clear tissue and hands while the tip accesses the suture site. Spring-action handles return the instrument to the open position for rapid, one-handed use, while the catch (locking mechanism) offers tactile control of tension during knot formation and needle handling. The 9 cm length balances reach and fine motor control for microsurgical tasks.
