Titanium Micro Castroviejo Needle Holder – 20 cm – Straight Tip

The Titanium Micro Castroviejo Needle Holder – 20 cm – Straight Tip is a specialized microsurgical instrument designed for precise handling of surgical needles during delicate suturing procedures. The 20 cm length provides extended reach while maintaining controlled manipulation. The straight-tip configuration allows the needle to be positioned directly in relation to the instrument shaft, making it suitable for applications where a straight approach is preferred. The Castroviejo-style design is widely associated with fine needle holders used in microsurgery. Its slender working profile is intended to provide the surgeon with precise control when placing small sutures in confined operative fields. Constructed from titanium , this needle holder offers the advantages associated with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material. Reduced instrument weight can be useful during procedures requiring prolonged fine manipulation, while titanium’s non-magnetic properties can be beneficial in selected surgical environments. The precision jaws are designed to securely hold compatible microsurgical needles without unnecessary movement. The exact jaw surface, serration pattern, tip dimensions, and needle compatibility should be confirmed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This instrument may be suitable for selected microsurgical, ophthalmic, plastic, vascular, reconstructive, and other delicate surgical procedures , depending on its specific design and intended use. Before use, inspect the straight tip and jaw surfaces for alignment, wear, deformation, or damage. The opening and closing mechanism should operate smoothly without excessive resistance. Reusable titanium instruments should be cleaned, sterilized, inspected, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s validated reprocessing instructions. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that may damage the precision working surfaces.
