Along gingival contours, a stitch may be easier to reach from the side than from straight ahead. The curved jaws of this 6.3 in (16 cm) Castroviejo needle holder help position fine surgical needles at an angle, while tungsten carbide gripping surfaces provide durable contact at the working end.
The spring-style handle responds to small finger movements, and its lock holds the needle between adjustments. The compact length keeps the clinician close to the suturing site without the finger rings of a conventional needle holder.
Important Usage Note
Use with surgical needles 0.8 mm in diameter or smaller. Place the needle toward the tip of the jaws, never near their base. Keep other instruments from contacting the locking mechanism to avoid damage.
When adjacent teeth or gingival margins make straight-on access awkward, the curved working end gives the needle another approach. The short spring-handle format allows measured adjustments in a confined surgical field.
