Castroviejo needle holder 7 delicate straight smooth jaws flat handle with lock

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The Castroviejo needle holder is a 7-inch instrument designed to grasp, guide, and release surgical needles during suturing. Its delicate profile, straight smooth jaws, flat handle, and integrated lock support controlled handling in general surgery workflows where steady positioning and clear access are important. The straight configuration offers a direct working orientation, while the smooth jaws provide a non-serrated contact surface for needle manipulation. The flat handle and locking design support a consistent hand position during repeated instrument handling, making this needle holder a practical choice for organized suturing tasks.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding surgical needles during general surgery suturing tasks.
• Positioning a needle in a direct, straight-jaw working orientation.
• Using the smooth jaws for controlled needle handling where a non-serrated contact surface is preferred.
• Maintaining needle control during repeated suturing steps with the integrated lock engaged as appropriate.
• Supporting instrument organization in workflows that require a delicate 7-inch needle holder.
