CASTROVIEJO Micro Needle Holders

Description (Manufacturer Style):
The Castroviejo Micro Needle Holder is a precision microsurgical instrument designed for securely holding and manipulating fine suture needles during delicate surgical procedures. It features a spring-loaded handle mechanism that provides smooth control and consistent pressure, allowing surgeons to perform accurate suturing in confined or highly sensitive areas.

Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium, the instrument offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with repeated sterilization processes. Many models incorporate tungsten carbide or diamond-dusted jaws to provide a superior non-slip grip on micro-needles.

The fine, narrow jaws and ergonomic flat or round handles enable precise handling of very small needles, making the instrument widely used in ophthalmic, cardiovascular, plastic, and neurosurgical microsurgery.
