Castaneda Tissue Forceps Straight 9.5 cm (3.7)

Controlled Suture Tag Handling in a Compact Straight Design

The Castaneda suture tag forceps is a 3 3/4-inch forceps designed for grasping and managing suture tags during surgical handling. Its straight profile supports a direct approach in the operative field, while the smooth jaws provide a defined contact surface for handling suture material without adding a serrated jaw pattern. The ring handle supports familiar forceps manipulation and helps maintain a steady grip during repetitive passing, positioning, or retrieval tasks. Its compact length suits work where close control and straightforward access are important, including cardiovascular and general surgery workflows.

Use Cases

• Grasp and position suture tags during cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Manage suture material during general surgery procedures and related instrument handling.
• Use the straight profile for direct access when approaching visible suture tags.
• Apply smooth jaws when handling suture material where a non-serrated contact surface is preferred.
• Use the ring handle for controlled grasping, passing, and repositioning tasks at the sterile field.
