Castroviejo Lid Instrument

Description

Castroviejo Lid Instrument

The castroviejo lid instrument helps you control the eyelid during surgery. It carries the name of Ramon Castroviejo, whose name appears on many fine eye tools. We offer it as a single pattern, so there are no options to choose.

What a lid instrument does

Lid tools help you support, lift or move the eyelid. That gives you better access to the lid itself or to the eye beneath it. Because the lid is thin and soft, a smooth, steady tool makes a real difference. In short, it helps you keep the field calm.

Castroviejo tools in a lid set

Many lid and oculoplastic trays include Castroviejo patterns. This one sits well beside fine forceps, small scissors and a speculum. However, it does not replace a speculum when you need the lids held apart for a long case. Think of it as a hand tool for lid control.

Points for safe Castroviejo use

• Use light pressure on the lid.
• Keep the globe protected while you work.
• Hold it like a pencil for fine control.
• Check the working end for burrs before each case.

Reprocessing the Castroviejo lid tool

Begin by flushing the working end under cool water. Then scrub the tool with a pH-neutral cleaner and rinse once more. Dry it before packing. We send the Castroviejo out non-sterile, so your team should process it before the first lid case. Thereafter it stays in rotation through many more.
