Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder (Smooth)

Description

Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder (Smooth)

The smooth Castroviejo micro needle holder carries tungsten carbide jaws with no serration. It suits the finest sutures in eye surgery.

Smooth carbide jaws

These plain jaws grip the needle without teeth. So delicate micro-sutures pass through them without fraying. Also, smooth faces avoid marks on monofilament.

Curved tips

The 15 cm holder comes curved only. Therefore, you can watch the needle tip while your hand stays to one side. Plus, a curved tip suits the angles of corneal work.

Castroviejo handle

Flat spring handles open with a light touch between each pass. Meanwhile, the textured grip area keeps your fingers from slipping. So the holder stays steady in long cases.

Where it fits

Corneal and cataract closures often use very fine nylon that frays under a toothed grip. Then the untextured faces protect that thread between passes. Also, it pairs with a serrated holder for heavier sutures on the same tray.

Cleaning smooth Castroviejo micro needle holder

Never clamp a heavy needle in the smooth jaws, because the faces can mark. Next, rinse the tips and dry them with a lint-free cloth. Finally, store the holder in a micro tray with the tips covered and apart from heavier instruments.
