10" Castroviejo Needle Holder curved lock

Controlled Needle Handling with a Curved, Locking Profile

The 10" Castroviejo Needle Holder curved lock is a surgical instrument designed to grasp and control needles during suturing. Its curved configuration helps align the instrument with the working field, while the locking mechanism supports a secured hold when the needle must remain stable between passes. The 10" overall length provides an extended reach that can be useful when access or hand positioning calls for additional distance from the operative site. Intended for general surgical workflows, this needle holder offers a practical combination of needle control, curved access, and lock-assisted handling for routine suturing tasks.

Use Cases

• Grasp and control needles during general surgical suturing.
• Use the curved profile to approach needles along angled or curved working paths.
• Engage the lock when a secured needle hold is useful between suture passes.
• Use the 10" length when extended instrument reach supports positioning within the operative field.
• Release and reposition the needle holder as needed while progressing through a suturing sequence.
