Description

The Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder is a fine microsurgical instrument used for needle handling during cardiovascular, vascular, and delicate reconstructive procedures. Its flat handle gives the surgeon a stable surface to work from, which is useful when suturing requires small, deliberate movements. The compact working end is intended for situations where ordinary needle holders would feel too large or cumbersome.

The straight jaws measure 1.2 mm and have a diamond-dusted surface. This provides a firm grip on the needle and helps limit unwanted movement while placing fine sutures. The holder is suitable for needles up to 6/0, making it appropriate for the small-scale suturing often encountered in microsurgical work.

Both locking and non-locking versions are available. A locking pattern can hold the needle in position once the required grip has been established, while the non-locking version allows the surgeon to control the pressure directly through the handle. The choice can therefore be made according to the surgeon’s preferred technique.

This needle holder is offered in 14 cm, 18 cm, 21 cm, and 23 cm lengths. The different sizes allow the instrument to be selected according to the working distance and space available around the operative site. A shorter holder may be easier to manage in a confined field, while longer versions provide additional reach where needed.

For a microsurgical instrument, accurate jaw alignment and smooth operation are important. Each holder undergoes quality inspection to check the precision of the working end and the way the jaws operate before it is supplied. The instrument is manufactured from premium surgical-grade materials for the demands of repeated clinical use.

With its fine diamond-dusted jaws, choice of locking mechanism, and several available lengths, the Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder offers surgeons a range of configurations for delicate needle work. Its design is particularly suited to cardiovascular, vascular, and reconstructive procedures where careful needle control is required.
