Castroviejo Needle Holders | Micro, TC, Titanium | DDP Elite Skip to content

Castroviejo Needle Holders

Castroviejo needle holders are spring-handled needle holders. The instrument is held like a pencil and squeezed to close, so the needle can be rotated through tissue with the fingertips - the control needed for fine sutures in ophthalmic, plastic, microvascular, hand and dental surgery.

This collection covers Castroviejo needle holders from 9cm micro patterns to 21.5cm, straight and curved, smooth, serrated and diamond-coated jaws, with or without a lock, in stainless, titanium and tungsten carbide, plus FineTouch Castroviejo patterns.

What this collection covers

  • Standard Castroviejo needle holders - 13-14cm / 5½", straight and curved, smooth or serrated, with or without lock.
  • Long Castroviejo - 7", 8½", 18cm and 21-21.5cm, for deeper fields and microvascular work.
  • Castroviejo-Micro - 9cm, curved and straight, smooth jaws.
  • Tungsten carbide (TC) - carbide jaw inserts for a firmer, longer-lasting needle grip.
  • Diamond-coated jaws - fine, non-slip grip on small needles.
  • Titanium and FineTouch - lighter instruments; FineTouch micro patterns at 9½".
  • Heavy Castroviejo - 7¼" with lock.

Smooth or serrated jaws?

Smooth jaws hold fine needles (typically 6-0 and finer) and suture without crushing or fraying them. Serrated jaws grip larger needles more firmly. Diamond-coated and TC jaws give a secure hold on small needles while staying gentle.

Lock or no lock?

A lock (catch) holds the needle without constant squeezing, which is useful when passing the instrument or reloading. No lock gives smoother, uninterrupted release - many microsurgeons prefer it so that unlocking never jolts the tip.

Frequently asked questions

What are Castroviejo needle holders used for? Fine suturing in ophthalmic, plastic, microvascular, hand, dental and periodontal surgery.

Why a spring handle instead of rings? Rotating a needle with the fingertips moves the tip less than turning the wrist with finger rings.

Are these related to Castroviejo scissors? Same surgeon, different instrument - see Castroviejo Scissors.
