Castaneda Tissue Forceps Straight 9.5 cm (3.7)

Controlled Suture Tagging for Precise Surgical Handling

The Castaneda suture tag forceps is a 3 3/4-inch instrument designed to grasp and manage suture tags during surgical handling. Its straight profile supports a direct approach, while the smooth jaws help maintain contact with suture material without adding a serrated gripping surface. The ring handle provides a familiar format for controlled instrument manipulation in the operative field. Compact and purpose-built, it can support organized suture management in cardiovascular and general surgery workflows where clear identification, positioning, and handoff of suture ends contribute to efficient instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Grasp and manage suture tags during cardiovascular procedures.
• Handle and organize suture ends in general surgery workflows.
• Use the straight profile when a direct approach to the suture tag is preferred.
• Support controlled manipulation of suture material with smooth jaws.
• Maintain a familiar ring-handle grip during operative instrument handling.
