Castroviejo Needle Holder Straight 21.6 cm (8.5) TC (Gold Handle)

Delicate, controlled needle handling across precision surgical workflows

The Castroviejo needle holder 8 1/2" is designed to grasp, guide, and position surgical needles during precise suturing. Its delicate straight profile, smooth TC jaws, and flat handle support controlled handling where clear access and a refined grip are important. The 8.5" length provides useful reach while preserving a direct instrument orientation, and the lock-free design allows the operator to manage jaw pressure manually. Suitable for cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery workflows, it offers a focused solution for fine needle manipulation without adding a locking mechanism to the instrument.

Use Cases

• Guiding and positioning needles during delicate suturing in cardiovascular procedures.
• Supporting controlled needle handling in general surgery when a straight instrument profile is preferred.
• Managing fine suturing tasks in neurosurgical workflows that benefit from a delicate needle holder.
• Handling needles during ophthalmic suturing where direct access and careful manual control are important.
• Assisting precise suturing in plastic surgery and other reconstructive workflows.
