Castroviejo Needle Holder Straight 14.0 cm (5.5) TC (Gold Handle)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Fine Surgical Workflows

The Castroviejo needle holder is a 5 1/2-inch instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its straight profile and medium 9.0 mm serrated TC jaws support controlled needle handling, while the flat handle and lock provide a practical grip and a way to maintain jaw engagement during appropriate tasks. This configuration can fit varied workflows in cardiovascular, general, neurosurgical, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery settings where consistent instrument handling and access matter. Its compact length supports close work, while the straight jaws offer a direct approach to the needle and suture field.
