Castroviejo Needle Holder with Lock, Straight
A straight, polished Castroviejo needle holder with a locking mechanism, sized for the fine, detailed suturing required in microsurgical procedures, supporting dependable performance in daily practice.
The Castroviejo Needle Holder with Lock is a fine microsurgical instrument used to grasp and pass very small suturing needles during procedures that require detailed, precise work at a micro level. It is described as straight, with a polished finish and a medium size, and includes a locking mechanism that lets the surgeon secure the jaws around a needle without maintaining continuous finger pressure, which can improve control during delicate, closely spaced suturing.
This kind of needle holder is typically used in specialties such as ophthalmic, vascular, plastic and other microsurgery where standard sized needle holders would be too coarse for the scale of the tissue and suture material involved. Its slim profile and locking action are intended to support precise, stable handling over the course of a lengthy microsurgical procedure.
As a reusable instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between patients following standard microsurgical instrument protocols, and is used by surgeons across microsurgical specialties.
