Castroviejo Needle Holder cvd w/o catch 17cm

Clinical Application

Precision needle control in delicate soft-tissue procedures. This curved Castroviejo needle holder is suited for ophthalmic, microsurgical, plastic reconstructive and vascular suturing where small needles and fine monofilament sutures are used. The absence of a ratchet (catch) supports rapid release and nuanced tactile feedback during knot tying and interrupted sutures.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft provides an ergonomic trajectory for accessing confined or deep operative fields without excessive wrist deviation, improving sightline and needle orientation. Fine, short jaws concentrate gripping surface on the needle body to minimize slippage while reducing the chance of compressing surrounding tissue. The no-catch configuration removes a locking mechanism so the surgeon retains continuous control of closing force and can release the needle instantly when repositioning or tying.
