Castroviejo needle holder 5 3/8" medium straight 9.0mm smooth jaws round handle with lock

Controlled Needle Handling for Delicate Suturing Workflows

The Castroviejo needle holder is a 5 3/8-inch instrument designed to grasp and control suture needles during closure and delicate suturing tasks. Its medium, straight profile supports a direct working approach, while the 9.0 mm smooth jaws provide a consistent grasping surface for controlled needle handling. A round handle promotes familiar manipulation, and the integrated lock can help maintain engagement during steady, deliberate instrument use. The design is applicable across cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgical, ophthalmic, and plastic-surgery settings, subject to the procedure and facility technique.

Use Cases

• Grasp and guide suture needles during cardiovascular suturing workflows where a straight approach supports direct instrument positioning.
• Manage needle placement and controlled passes during general surgery closure and tissue approximation tasks.
• Support precise needle handling in neurosurgical procedures requiring deliberate manipulation within a focused operative field.
• Assist with fine suturing tasks in ophthalmic workflows where smooth jaws and a medium profile support controlled handling.
• Provide secure needle control for plastic-surgery closure and reconstructive suturing procedures.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument in accordance with facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the smooth jaws, handle, and lock for visible damage, residue, alignment concerns, or impaired movement before use.
• Handle the needle holder carefully to protect the jaw surfaces and locking mechanism from impact or unintended force.
• Store in a manner that prevents contact damage to the jaws and allows the instrument to remain clean and dry.

General use; follow facility protocols.
