Who Uses This Instrument, and Why

Ophthalmic and microsurgeons reach for the Castroviejo Needle Holder regularly, because its Tungsten Carbide jaws keep a firm, precise hold on delicate needles during fine suturing. The locking option lets surgeons secure the needle hands-free between passes, while the non-locking version favors uninterrupted spring-handle control. Since configurations vary, professionals can select the version that best fits their setting, technique, and patient needs.

Care and Maintenance

Clean and dry the Castroviejo Needle Holder after each use to protect its long-term performance. Wash it with a neutral pH detergent, rinse thoroughly, and then follow your facility’s sterilization protocol. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, since they can dull the finish over time. With proper care, this instrument holds its accuracy and lasts through years of routine use. For added protection between uses, store it separately from other instruments to avoid nicks or scratches to the working surfaces.

Compliance and Quality

Intrace USA manufactures the Castroviejo Needle Holder from surgical-grade stainless steel, and every unit passes inspection in the United States before distribution.
