Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder str 9cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precision needle control during microsurgical procedures, this Castroviejo micro needle holder is intended for handling small suture needles and placing fine interrupted or continuous stitches in confined operative fields. Common applications include ophthalmology (corneal and conjunctival suturing), microsurgical soft-tissue repair, plastic and reconstructive procedures, and other cases requiring delicate needle manipulation and knot-tying.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry and compact 9 cm length provide close tactile feedback and fine tip control, allowing the surgeon to position and rotate small needles with minimal excursion. The narrow jaws concentrate grip force on the needle shaft to reduce slippage while minimizing bulk in tight spaces. This configuration supports single-handed suturing and precise placement of sutures in shallow or deep operative sites where larger needle holders would limit visibility or mobility.
