Castroviejo Needle Holder w/catch str 14cm

Clinical Application

Precision needle control for delicate suturing tasks. Commonly used in ophthalmic, microsurgical and microvascular procedures as well as plastic, ENT and other cases requiring fine needle handling and controlled knot tying. The fine jaws are optimized to grasp small needles securely without excessive distortion, enabling accurate passes through fragile tissues and reliable suture placement.

Design & Configuration

The straight, slender shank and short, fine jaws provide direct line-of-sight access to the operative field and precise tip control near the tissue. A locking catch secures the jaws in closed position, offering consistent retention force during needle passage and while tying knots. This configuration reduces slippage and allows the surgeon to transfer or rotate small needles with controlled tactile feedback—important in confined or magnified working environments.
