Castroviejo Tissue Forceps 1x2 Teeth Straight 10.0 cm (4") TC (Gold Handle)

Controlled Suture Handling Across Surgical Workflows

Castroviejo suturing forceps are precision instruments for grasping, positioning, and manipulating suture material during delicate surgical work. This 4 1/8-inch model combines straight shafts, fine 0.12 mm 1x2 teeth, and a 6.0 mm working area to support controlled handling in both General Surgery and Ophthalmic settings. Tungsten carbide-dusted surfaces, tying platforms, and a wide serrated flat handle contribute to a secure, deliberate grip while helping the user maintain instrument orientation. The titanium construction provides a lightweight format suited to repeated instrument handling, with a design focused on access, tactile control, and efficient suture placement.

Use Cases

• Grasp and position suture material during General Surgery procedures requiring controlled handling.
• Support fine suture manipulation in Ophthalmic workflows where a narrow, straight instrument profile is useful.
• Use the 1x2 toothed tips to maintain contact with suture material during tying and adjustment.
• Apply the tying platforms when guiding or supporting suture-tying technique.
• Use the wide serrated flat handle for deliberate finger placement and steady instrument control.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to the facility's validated protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the 1x2 teeth, tungsten carbide-dusted surfaces, tying platforms, and serrated handle for wear, damage, or debris before use.
• Handle the fine tips carefully and avoid contact with other instruments that could deform or damage the working surfaces.
• Store the forceps so the tips and functional surfaces are protected from impact and contamination.
