Castroviejo Needle Holder str w/o catch 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise handling of small surgical needles and fine sutures, this straight Castroviejo needle holder is optimized for procedures that require exceptional tactile feedback and controlled needle placement. Common applications include ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery, microvascular anastomosis, reconstructive and plastic procedures, and delicate ENT work where minimal tissue compression and fine suture control are essential.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft aligns the handles with the needle axis to provide direct, intuitive control during placement and tying. The absence of a catch (ratchet) allows the surgeon to modulate grip pressure continuously, reducing the risk of crushing fine needles or sutures and improving sensitivity during knot tying. Short, fine jaws provide a secure, localized grip on small needles while minimizing bulk at the operative site. The 17 cm length balances reach into deep operative fields with fingertip control at the tips.
