Castroviejo Needle Holder str w/catch 14cm

Clinical Application

Precision needle control for delicate suturing tasks in ophthalmic, microsurgical, plastic, otolaryngology, and vascular procedures. The fine jaws and locking catch allow the surgeon to grasp small needles securely for accurate placement of interrupted and continuous sutures, maneuvers in confined spaces, and procedures where minimizing needle slippage and tissue trauma is critical.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft provides direct alignment of the surgeon’s hand and needle for improved tactile feedback and line-of-sight during superficial and microsurgical suturing. The integrated locking catch maintains a consistent grip on the needle without continuous finger pressure, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged or repetitive suturing. Fine, cross-serrated jaw faces maximize purchase on microsurgical needles while limiting deformation of the needle body, supporting precise needle passage and knot placement.
