Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder w/catch 9cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled handling of small curved needles in confined operative fields, this micro needle holder is commonly used for fine suturing tasks in ophthalmology (intraocular and periocular procedures), delicate plastic and reconstructive work, microvascular approximation, ENT and other microsurgical applications where precise needle placement and minimal tissue disturbance are required.

Design & Configuration

The Castroviejo pattern provides a compact, low-profile working end and precise tip geometry that improves visibility and access in tight spaces. The short, fine jaws allow accurate grasping of small needles without excessive bulk, while the integrated locking catch secures the needle in position to reduce slippage and operator fatigue during prolonged repairs or when both hands are needed for tissue manipulation. The spring-style handle characteristic of this pattern gives responsive tactile feedback for delicate movements and controlled release.
