Castroviejo Needle Holder str w/o catch 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise needle handling during delicate suturing tasks, this Castroviejo needle holder is optimized for ophthalmic, microsurgical, plastic reconstructive, ENT and vascular procedures where controlled, fine movements are required. The absence of a catch enables rapid adjustment of needle position and tension without engaging or disengaging a ratchet, which is useful for interrupted sutures or when frequent release is needed during micro-suturing.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry aligns the operator’s hand with the working tip for direct visual access and linear motion control. Short, fine jaws concentrate tactile feedback at the tip, improving needle seating and minimizing inadvertent needle rotation. A no-catch configuration lets the surgeon maintain manual control of suture tension and quickly release the needle when necessary, enhancing workflow in procedures that require frequent repositioning.
