Castroviejo Needle Holder str w/catch 10cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise control of small surgical needles, this instrument is optimized for delicate soft-tissue suturing where tactile feedback and exact needle placement are critical. Common uses include ophthalmic procedures (ocular surface and periocular suturing), microsurgery, plastic/reconstructive closures in confined fields, and ENT or dental procedures that require fine needle handling. The locking catch secures the needle without continuous squeeze, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged or intricate suturing steps.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry offers direct, inline visualization of the needle and suture path, improving accuracy when working in narrow or superficial operative sites. Short, fine jaws concentrate grip at the needle shaft for controlled rotation and placement of micro needles. The integrated locking catch provides a reliable, discrete lock position so the surgeon can maintain steady tension on the suture while adjusting needle orientation or performing an instrument change.
