Description

Sklar's Tungsten Carbide Castroviejo Needle Holder is a multipurpose microsurgical instrument that is often used in ophthalmic and plastic surgeries. It features a double spring, flat handle, and it is available with straight or curved jaws. It is also available with or without a locking mechanism. The small tips of this needle holder are ideal for handling small, delicate needles and sutures.

This product has straight, smooth, delicate jaws, an overall length of 5-1/2 inches and a locking mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tungsten carbide insert enhance grip?

Yes, the Sklar TC Castroviejo Needle Holder is not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring safety for practitioners and patients with latex sensitivities.
