Castroviejo Barraquer Needle Holder cvd 12cm

Clinical Application

This curved Castroviejo-Barraquer needle holder is engineered for fine-control suturing in ophthalmic and other microsurgical procedures. Its slim profile and fine jaws are optimized for handling delicate needles and ultra‑fine sutures used in eyelid, corneal, lacrimal and reconstructive soft-tissue work where precise needle placement and minimal tissue trauma are required.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft provides an angled approach to the operative field, improving visibility and access when working in confined or deep planes. At 12 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and tactile control—long enough to access moderate-depth fields while remaining responsive in the surgeon’s hand. The fine, short jaws with micro-serrations allow secure needle grip with minimal rotation of the needle shaft, supporting controlled passage through delicate tissue.
