Castroviejo Needle Holder cvd w/catch 10cm

Clinical Application

This curved Castroviejo needle holder is intended for precise handling and control of microsurgical needles during delicate suturing tasks. Its 10 cm length and fine jaws make it well suited to ophthalmic procedures (including corneal and conjunctival repair and oculoplastic work), microsurgery, small-vessel/tissue approximation, and any surgical context requiring high tactile feedback and needle security with minimal tissue interference.

Design & Configuration

The curved jaw geometry provides an angled approach to the suture plane, improving line-of-sight and access in confined operative fields. The integrated catch (locking mechanism) secures the needle between passes to reduce slippage and allow continuous, controlled suturing without repeated regrasping. A 10 cm overall length balances reach and fingertip control—long enough to access deeper pockets but short enough to preserve dexterity for micro-manipulation.
