Not every closure calls for a curved tip. When the needle can approach directly, the straight jaws of this 16 cm Castroviejo keep its working line easy to follow. Tungsten carbide gripping surfaces meet the needle, while the spring handle provides a ring-free grip for fine suturing.
A locking mechanism holds the jaws closed as the needle is repositioned. The compact length and Black Edition finish make this a straightforward choice for periodontal and implant surgery trays.
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.
For visible, direct-access suture lines, this pattern keeps the needle aligned with the instrument rather than introducing an angle at the tip. The spring-handle action is familiar to clinicians who prefer fine finger movements over a ratcheted ring grip.
