Simion Straight Castroviejo Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 18 cm

The Simion Straight Castroviejo Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 18 cm is a precision surgical instrument designed for secure needle grasping, controlled manipulation, and accurate suture placement. Its straight Castroviejo configuration provides direct access to the operative field, while the 18 cm overall length offers useful reach for procedures requiring precise needle handling. This combination makes the instrument suitable for delicate suturing applications where controlled movement and accurate needle positioning are essential. The straight profile allows the surgeon to approach the surgical site directly and maintain a clear line of sight to the working jaws. This can be particularly useful during procedures where accurate needle orientation and controlled tissue penetration are important. The instrument is designed to support the surgeon through the stages of needle loading, positioning, passage through tissue, and release while helping maintain consistent control. The Perma Sharp™ working jaws provide a precision-oriented surface intended for secure needle engagement. Maintaining a stable grip on the needle can help improve accuracy during suturing and tissue approximation. The fine working configuration is suitable for procedures requiring careful manipulation of surgical needles, including selected microsurgical, reconstructive, ophthalmic, periodontal, vascular, and other specialty applications. At 18 cm , the Simion Straight Castroviejo Needle Holder provides a practical working length for procedures where additional reach is useful without sacrificing the precision associated with a Castroviejo-style design. The length can help the surgeon access areas that may be less convenient to reach with a shorter needle holder while still providing controlled instrument handling. The instrument is manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , providing the strength and durability expected from reusable professional surgical instrumentation. Stainless steel also offers resistance to corrosion when appropriate cleaning, drying, handling, and sterilization procedures are followed. The durable construction is intended to withstand routine clinical use and repeated reprocessing. The Simion needle holder may be incorporated into surgical instrument sets for procedures requiring fine suturing and dependable needle control. Potential applications include delicate soft-tissue closure, reconstructive surgery, plastic surgery, ophthalmic procedures, periodontal surgery, vascular suturing, and other precision-oriented interventions. The specific suitability of the instrument depends on the surgical technique, needle dimensions, suture type, tissue characteristics, and operative requirements. Correct maintenance is essential for preserving the performance of a precision needle holder. After use, the instrument should be cleaned promptly according to the healthcare facility’s validated reprocessing procedure. Particular attention should be given to the jaw surfaces, hinge, and other functional components. After cleaning, it should be thoroughly rinsed, dried, and inspected for proper jaw alignment, smooth operation, surface integrity, and signs of wear or damage. Sterilization should be performed using a validated process suitable for reusable surgical instruments and consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions. Proper reprocessing and routine inspection can help maintain the precision of the working jaws and extend the useful service life of the instrument.
