Castroviejo tying forceps 4 1/4" straight shafts 5.5mm TC dusted tying platforms wide flat handle

Controlled Suture Handling for General and Ophthalmic Workflows

Castroviejo tying forceps are designed for controlled handling and tying of fine sutures during surgical procedures. This 4 1/4-inch instrument combines straight shafts with 5.5mm tungsten carbide dusted tying platforms to support secure, deliberate manipulation at the working site. The wide flat handle provides a familiar surface for fingertip control, while the tying-platform design helps maintain contact with suture material during knot-tying tasks. Suitable for both general surgery and ophthalmic workflows, it offers a focused solution for clinicians who need precise forceps handling without adding unnecessary bulk to the operative field.

Use Cases

• Grasping and positioning suture material during knot-tying tasks in general surgery.
• Supporting controlled fine-suture handling in ophthalmic procedures.
• Using the straight shafts to approach the working site along a direct instrument path.
• Applying the dusted tying platforms to help maintain contact with suture during manipulation.
• Using the wide flat handle for stable fingertip positioning during repetitive tying work.
