Castaneda Tissue Forceps Straight 9.5 cm (3.7)

Controlled Suture Tag Handling in a Compact Straight Profile

The Castaneda suture tag forceps is a compact forceps designed to grasp and manage suture tags during surgical workflows. Its 3 3/4-inch length supports close, controlled handling where a smaller instrument can help maintain a clear working area. Straight, smooth jaws provide a simple grasping interface for organized suture management without adding a textured jaw pattern. The instrument can support general surgery and cardiovascular applications where dependable handling of suture tags is part of the procedure. Its ring-handle format supports familiar forceps manipulation and practical placement within the surgical field.

Use Cases

• Grasp and manage suture tags during general surgery procedures.
• Support organized suture handling in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Use the straight profile for direct access and controlled positioning near the operative site.
• Apply the smooth jaws when a non-serrated grasping surface is appropriate for suture-tag handling.
• Use the compact 3 3/4-inch format for close-range instrument work and efficient passing within the surgical field.
