Castroviejo Needle Holder Curved 13.0 cm (5.1)

Delicate curved control for precise needle handling

The Castroviejo needle holder is a delicate instrument designed to grasp and guide surgical needles during suturing. Its 5 1/8-inch length, curved profile, and 9.0 mm jaws support controlled access where visibility and fine handling are important. The wide flat handle provides a broad contact surface for hand positioning, while the design without a lock allows direct manipulation during needle placement and release. Suitable for varied surgical workflows, it can support needle handling in cardiovascular, general, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery settings without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding needles during delicate suturing tasks in general surgery.
• Supporting controlled needle placement in cardiovascular procedures where a curved approach may aid access.
• Handling fine needles during ophthalmic suturing workflows requiring a delicate jaw pattern.
• Assisting precise needle manipulation in plastic surgery closure and reconstruction tasks.
• Using the wide flat handle for direct hand positioning when rapid needle release and repositioning are required.
