Castroviejo Needle Holder cvd w/catch 14cm

Clinical Application

This instrument provides precise control of small suture needles for delicate procedures. It is commonly used in ophthalmology for corneal, conjunctival and eyelid suturing, and is also suitable for microsurgical tasks in plastic, ENT and vascular procedures where fine needle manipulation and minimal tissue trauma are required. The curved tip improves access and line-of-sight in confined or angled operative fields, making it useful for intraorbital and deep soft-tissue work.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry places the jaws at an oblique angle relative to the handles, allowing the operator to approach the needle tangentially while maintaining a clear view of the suture site. A built-in catch (locking mechanism) secures the needle in position without continuous grip pressure, which reduces hand fatigue during prolonged microsuturing. The fine micro-serrated jaws provide consistent purchase on small needles and minimize slippage, helping protect delicate tissue and suture material.
