The 5 1/2" Castroviejo Needle Holder with straight jaws and a lockless mechanism suits procedures requiring precision and flexibility. Its fine serrated tips hold small needles well in place, but the lock is absent, so fine-tuning may be executed unobstructed even while suturing. Ergonomically designed round handles with serrations provide a sure grip, reducing fatigue in the hand. Light yet robustly created from the best German stainless steel, it is indispensable for subtle tasks in ophthalmic and microsurgeries.
