Castroviejo Needle Holder Curved 13.0 cm (5.1)

Controlled Needle Handling Across Surgical Specialties

The Castroviejo needle holder is designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing, supporting controlled handling in cardiovascular, general surgery, and ophthalmic workflows. Its 5 1/8-inch curved profile helps position the instrument around the operative field, while the smooth jaws provide a non-serrated gripping surface for deliberate needle manipulation. The round handle offers a familiar handheld format, and the without-lock configuration allows the user to maintain direct control while opening and closing the instrument. This combination supports precise, task-focused handling where access, visibility, and responsive instrument movement matter.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding needles during suturing in cardiovascular procedures.
• Supporting routine needle handling in general surgery workflows.
• Managing needle placement in ophthalmic surgical tasks where a compact, curved instrument is useful.
• Using the curved profile to approach the operative field while maintaining a practical working angle.
• Applying direct hand control for repeated needle manipulation without a locking mechanism.
