Castroviejo Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

Description

Castroviejo Needle Holder, Tungsten Carbide

A tungsten carbide Castroviejo needle holder gives dental surgeons a fine, lasting grip. The spring handle and hard inserts suit periodontal and implant suturing.

Hard inserts

Tungsten carbide inserts line both jaws. Because carbide outlasts plain steel, the jaws keep their bite on small needles. Also, the fine jaws suit the small needles of dental suturing.

Gold handles

The gold finish flags the carbide version at a glance. So your assistant can pick the right holder quickly. Plus, it keeps carbide and stainless holders from mixing during reprocessing.

Straight or curved

Straight jaws reach anterior sites easily. However, curved jaws help around the arch and toward posterior teeth. So choose the shape that suits the site you close most often.

Choosing a length

The 16 cm size suits most intraoral suturing. Meanwhile, the 18 cm size adds reach for posterior sites. Many clinics keep a curved one in each length.

Cleaning tungsten carbide Castroviejo needle holder

Rinse the holder soon after surgery so debris cannot dry in the jaws. Then clean it in an ultrasonic bath or by hand. Also, dry the spring well before you package it for the autoclave.
