Castroviejo-Barraquer Micro Needle Holder

Description

Castroviejo-Barraquer Micro Needle Holder

The Castroviejo-Barraquer needle holder merges two classic eye-surgery patterns. It comes in 12 and 13 cm with a spring handle.

Spring action

A light spring opens the jaws when you ease your grip. So you control the needle with small finger movements alone. No ratchet click disturbs the field.

Eye surgery focus

Fine jaws handle the tiny needles used on the cornea and sclera. Meanwhile, the slim tip keeps the microscope view clear. This Castroviejo-Barraquer needle holder suits the finest ocular threads.

Two lengths

The 12 cm size feels nimble in front of the eye. Instead, 13 cm suits a hand that rests further back. Both share the same jaw shape.

Choosing a length

Consider how you rest your hand under the microscope. Then choose the Castroviejo-Barraquer needle holder length that lets the tip reach without strain. Many eye surgeons test both. Also, compare it with our plain Barraquer pattern before you decide. The two share a similar spring feel.

Reprocessing Castroviejo-Barraquer needle holder

Clean the fine tips gently, because they bend easily. First, rinse with sterile water and then use a soft brush. Also, store the holder in a protective tray with tip guards.
