Working around a gingival margin often calls for small changes in the needle's approach. This 18 cm Power Castroviejo pairs curved tungsten carbide gripping jaws with a spring-style handle for careful needle placement during periodontal and implant surgery.
The lock secures the needle while its position is adjusted, and the longer format gives the hand more clearance around the site. Its black titanium finish gives this Power Line instrument a dark, refined appearance.
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 clinicians using atraumatic suturing techniques around gingival margins or implant sites, the entry angle matters. The curved working end helps present the needle from the side, while the 18 cm spring handle leaves room for small, measured adjustments.
