For fine sutures placed around a gingival margin, the needle's entry angle matters. This 16 cm Power Castroviejo pairs curved tungsten carbide gripping jaws with a spring-style locking handle for careful needle placement during periodontal and implant surgery.
Small finger movements open and close the working end, and the lock secures the needle while its position is adjusted. The black titanium finish gives this Power Line instrument its dark appearance without changing the familiar Castroviejo handling style.
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.
The curved working end lets clinicians approach a stitch from the side when direct access is limited. At 16 cm, the spring-handle format keeps the fingers close to the site for deliberate adjustments during delicate soft-tissue closure.
