Castroviejo Micro Ndle Holder str 18cm TC R/H

Clinical Application

Provides precise needle control for microsurgical suturing where delicate tissue handling and excellent needle orientation are required. Commonly used in ophthalmic procedures (corneal, conjunctival, eyelid and other anterior segment repairs) and other fine soft-tissue applications such as oculoplastic, ENT and reconstructive micro-suturing. The micro jaws are suited to grasping very small needles and fine sutures to enable accurate approximation without deforming needle points.

Design & Configuration

The straight 18 cm configuration gives extended reach while preserving tactile feedback and tip precision. A straight shaft maintains an unobstructed line of sight for approach and suture placement in superficial and semi-deep fields. Right-handed ergonomics optimize orientation and handling for right-handed surgeons, supporting controlled wrist movements and needle rotation during knot tying. Micro, fine-profile jaws minimize tissue impingement and improve visibility around the needle point.
