Castroviejo needle holder 5 1/8" delicate straight 9.0mm jaws wide flat handle, without lock

Delicate Control for Precise Needle Handling

The Castroviejo needle holder is a delicate, straight instrument designed to grasp and guide needles during suturing. Its 5 1/8-inch length supports controlled handling in focused operative fields, while the 9.0 mm jaws provide a compact working profile. A wide, flat handle offers a stable surface for finger placement, and the non-locking design supports direct, responsive manipulation when frequent repositioning is required. Suitable for cardiovascular, general surgery, ophthalmic, and plastic surgery workflows, this needle holder is intended for professionals who value controlled instrument handling and clear access around the suture site.

Use Cases

• Grasping and guiding needles during delicate suturing tasks in general surgery.
• Supporting fine needle handling in cardiovascular procedures where a straight, compact profile is appropriate.
• Managing sutures in ophthalmic workflows that call for a delicate needle holder design.
• Handling needles during plastic surgery closure and reconstruction tasks.
• Using direct, non-locking manipulation when repeated repositioning of the needle is part of the workflow.
