Castroviejo Needle Holder Straight – Precision in Micro Suturing
The microsurgery applications requiring fine suturing spawned the creation of the Castroviejo Needle Holder Straight. It comprises jaws that are serrated transversely but very thin so that it can hold on to a small needle very securely and without any question of doubt. The straight cylindrical shaft increases control and visibility within limited operating areas, particularly those viewed under high power.
It is fabricated from the finest medical grade stainless steel to withstand all forms of corrosion and can be used in an autoclave. This particular kind is mostly applicable within ophthalmic, dental, cardio-vascular as well as neurosurgical practice; offering reliable service in every detail stitching exercise.
