Stainless Steel Cast. Needle Holder Curved Without Lock (145mm Long)

Intended Use/Discipline : Ophthalmology Instrument : Castroviejo needle holder curved Ophthalmic Micro Needle Holder curved Stainless without lock (145mm Long) Product Description: A needle holder, also called a needle driver is made from stainless steel and is used to hold a suturing needle during surgical procedures.

• Handle Design: Spring handle with a lock mechanism (often a slide lock or a specific squeeze-to-lock mechanism). This allows for use with a palm or finger grip.
• Jaw Type: Curved jaws. The curve aligns the needle for a smooth, rolling drive through tissue.
• Jaw Surface: Fine, smooth, or specially hardened tungsten carbide inserts. Tungsten carbide jaws provide a superior, non-slip grip on the smallest needles and greatly increase the instrument's lifespan.
• Locking Mechanism: Typically a slide lock or clasp lock that is engaged with the thumb and forefinger, providing quick and easy locking and unlocking without moving the hand.
• Material: Made from high-quality, medical-grade Stainless Steel.
• Sizes: Available in multiple lengths (e.g., 140mm, 160mm) and jaw configurations to suit different surgical needs.
• Exceptional Control: The spring handle allows for very fine, rotational movements driven by the fingers, minimizing tremor.
• Reduced Hand Fatigue: The design requires less hand movement and grip strength compared to traditional ring-handled needle holders.
• Enhanced Precision: Ideal for the smallest sutures (e.g., 9-0, 10-0, 11-0) where absolute control of the needle is critical.
• Improved Visibility: The low-profile design offers an unobstructed view of the surgical field.
