The extra length of this 18 cm straight Castroviejo changes where the hand sits in relation to the suture site. Clinicians who prefer more working distance still get the familiar spring-handle pattern, a direct working line and tungsten carbide gripping surfaces for fine surgical needles.
The jaws remain in line with the instrument as the needle is picked up and advanced. A locking mechanism maintains the grip between adjustments, and the Black Edition finish completes this reusable stainless steel 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.
A longer straight Castroviejo can leave more room between the fingers and a crowded surgical field without changing the needle's angle of approach. This version makes sense for fine suturing when the closure is visible but a little farther away.
