12 Castroviejo Needle Holder straight lock

Controlled Needle Handling with Extended Straight Access

The 12" Castroviejo Needle Holder straight lock is a hand-held instrument designed to grasp and control a suture needle during suturing. Its straight profile supports a direct working approach, while the locking design helps maintain a controlled hold between adjustments. At 12 inches overall, it provides useful reach for work where access and instrument positioning matter, including General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows. The Castroviejo-style needle holder supports deliberate needle placement and steady instrument handling across routine suturing tasks, helping teams keep the needle secure while progressing through the repair. Its specialty-neutral design suits varied operative setups without limiting use to one discipline.
