Castroviejo Needle Holder str w/catch 17cm

Clinical Application

This precision needle holding instrument is designed for delicate needle manipulation and suture placement during microsurgical procedures. Its fine, tapered jaws allow secure control of small needles and sutures used in ophthalmic, plastic/reconstructive, vascular and other soft-tissue microsurgery where tactile feedback and minimal tissue disruption are essential.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides a direct line of sight and intuitive alignment when approaching the suture plane, which is advantageous in confined or shallow operative fields. The integrated catch (locking mechanism) secures the instrument closed at the selected tension to maintain needle position without continuous manual pressure, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged suturing. The Castroviejo pattern is optimized for precise tip control and fine adjustments rather than gross clamping.
