Castroviejo Needle Holder cvd w/catch 17cm

Clinical Application

This fine needle holder is designed to deliver precise control of small atraumatic needles during delicate suturing tasks. Its curved jaw geometry and slim profile make it well-suited for ophthalmic procedures, microvascular anastomosis, reconstructive and plastic surgery, and other microsurgical applications where access is limited and tissue handling must be minimal. The locking catch permits sustained needle retention for single-handed suturing and knot-tying.

Design & Configuration

The curved (cvd) jaw alignment provides an angled approach to the needle that improves visibility and line-of-suture in confined operative fields. Spring-action handles reduce hand fatigue and allow rapid opening and closing, while the integrated catch secures the instrument in a closed position to maintain needle orientation without continuous manual pressure. The fine, tapered jaws concentrate gripping force on the needle body to minimize slippage while avoiding excessive compression of adjacent tissues.
