Castroviejo Delicate Straight Needle Holder with Lock 5.625"

Available in various sizes, the locking system on this needle holder ensures a firm grasp of the needle. It is used to pass most needles in oculoplastic procedures, including tagging of the extraocular muscles during enucleation and closing a blepharoplasty incision. The tying platform allows for grasping of the needle during reloading or for grasping of suture while tying. Additionally, the design of the handle allows for improved flexibility and mobility as the surgeon can easily rotate it within his or her hand.
