Castroviejo Fixation Forceps

The Castroviejo fixation forceps holds the eye steady during anterior segment surgery. Order it with curved or straight tips, each at 9 cm. So the main question is which angle gives you the clearest view in your usual cases.

Curved tips

Curved Castroviejo tips angle off the shaft. As a result, your hand and the shaft stay out of the view. Many surgeons like them for fixation near the limbus under the microscope.

Straight tips

Straight Castroviejo tips run in line with the handle. Therefore, the direction of pull feels simple and direct. They suit fixation at the side of the globe and general handling of tissue.

Picking curved or straight

If you work mainly under high magnification, curved tips often help. However, if you want one forceps for many tasks, straight tips are a safe choice. Some trays keep one of each.

• Straight tips for direct pull
• Reusable once sterilized

A 9 cm Castroviejo body

At 9 cm, the forceps sits between short and long patterns. Also, it balances well in a pencil grip. Then you can hold fixation for a full step without strain. In fact, many teams choose it as their main fixation tool.

Cleaning after use

Rinse the tips at once, then brush them gently. After that, dry the forceps fully. Finally, close it under a light and check that curved tips still meet along their full length.

Choosing and ordering your Castroviejo

Both tip styles ship non-sterile. In addition, the curved and straight Castroviejo share three years against manufacturing defects. Castroviejo steel conforms to ASTM F899. For a lighter 7.5 cm option, see the Sauer forceps. Our full list of eye instruments and the question and answer page can help too.
