Castroviejo needle holder 7 delicate straight serrated TC jaws flat handle with lock

Controlled Needle Handling for Fine Suturing Work

The Castroviejo needle holder is a 7-inch delicate instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its straight, serrated TC jaws support a secure hold, while the flat handle and lock provide a controlled grip for steady instrument handling. The micro weight class suits detail-oriented work where access, visualization, and precise manipulation are important. Its configuration can support suturing workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, and neurosurgery, helping clinicians position and manage needles through delicate closure tasks without adding unnecessary bulk to the hand.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding needles during delicate suturing in cardiovascular procedures.
• Supporting controlled needle placement and closure tasks in general surgery.
• Handling needles during fine suturing workflows in neurosurgery.
• Using the straight profile to approach the operative field with a consistent instrument orientation.
• Using the serrated TC jaws and locking handle to maintain a controlled needle hold during repetitive suturing steps.
