Castroviejo Needle Holder Straight 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Needle Handling for Focused Suturing

The 5 1/2" Castroviejo Golden Grip Needle Holder is a straight, smooth-jaw instrument designed to hold and guide needles during suturing. Its compact 5.5" length supports controlled handling in focused operative fields, while the golden grip provides a readily identifiable handle finish for instrument selection and workflow organization. The o-lock configuration supports a locking style of needle control during appropriate suturing tasks. In cardiovascular and general surgery settings, its straight profile can suit direct approaches where consistent alignment and needle handling are important. The smooth jaws are intended for controlled needle engagement during routine instrument use.
