Castroviejo Micro Surgical Needle Holder Straight 14cm

The Castroviejo TCGold micro surgical needle holder with a straight tip of 14 cm  is a specialist instrument used to grip and guide delicate needles and sutures during surgical suturing in microsurgery. This is a special type of surgical operation performed using specialist optical equipment such as an operating microscope and highly qualified instrumentation. It includes operations: eye, plastic/reconstructive, vascular and in the field of dental surgery, e.g. implantology. The Castroviejo micro vice by Hossa International® is characterized by a precise and reliable design, and its slim shape allows for a long reach into hard-to-reach areas, e.g. interdental.

The Castroviejo micro surgical needle holder is used by the surgeon not only to hold the needle during suturing, but also to tie the ends of the surgical threads on the instrument, as well as to grasp the tissue.
