Straight Castro Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 14 cm

The Straight Castro Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 14 cm is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled needle manipulation, accurate suture placement, and reliable tissue approximation. Its straight Castro configuration provides a direct approach to the operative field, while the 14 cm overall length offers a practical balance between close working access and comfortable instrument control. The straight design allows the surgeon to position the jaws directly around the surgical needle without requiring additional instrument angulation. This can be beneficial in procedures where clear visualization and direct access to the needle are important. The configuration supports controlled movements during needle loading, positioning, passage through tissue, and release. The Perma Sharp™ working jaws are designed to provide a precision contact surface for secure needle engagement. Consistent needle control is essential for accurate suturing, particularly when the surgeon needs to maintain a specific needle trajectory or make precise passes through delicate tissue. The fine working surfaces support controlled manipulation while helping maintain stable needle positioning. With an overall length of 14 cm , this needle holder provides a compact and maneuverable working profile. The length is suitable for procedures where close access to the operative field is required without the additional reach of a longer instrument. It can be particularly useful for delicate soft-tissue suturing and other procedures where precise hand movements are essential. The Straight Castro Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder can be used in a variety of precision-oriented surgical applications. Depending on the specific procedure, potential uses include soft-tissue closure, plastic and reconstructive surgery, periodontal and oral surgery, ophthalmic procedures, microsurgical techniques, wound repair, and other specialty suturing applications. The appropriate instrument should always be selected based on the surgeon’s technique, surgical needle size, suture material, tissue characteristics, and operative-field requirements. The straight profile also provides predictable instrument orientation during suturing. This can help the surgeon maintain a consistent approach to the needle and facilitate controlled needle rotation when required. The compact 14 cm design can support efficient handling in superficial and moderately confined operative fields. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel , the instrument is designed for durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion. Stainless steel construction supports repeated clinical use and routine reprocessing when the instrument is appropriately cleaned, inspected, dried, and sterilized according to validated procedures. Following each procedure, the needle holder should be cleaned promptly according to the healthcare facility’s approved instrument-reprocessing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the jaw surfaces, hinge, and other functional areas where biological material may accumulate. After cleaning, the instrument should be thoroughly rinsed and dried before inspection. Routine inspection should verify correct jaw alignment, smooth mechanical operation, and the absence of visible damage, corrosion, or excessive wear. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method appropriate for reusable surgical instruments and consistent with applicable manufacturer instructions. Proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization practices help preserve the precision of the working jaws and extend the useful service life of the instrument. The Straight Castro Perma Sharp™ Needle Holder, 14 cm combines a direct straight profile, compact 14 cm length, precision Perma Sharp™ jaws, and durable stainless steel construction. It is a dependable choice for surgical professionals requiring accurate needle control and consistent performance during delicate and precision suturing procedures.
