About Castroviejo Needle Holders
Castroviejo needle holders use a spring handle instead of the finger rings found on a Mayo-Hegar holder. The straight pattern has fine jaws and a handle catch, helping buyers identify the required grip and locking arrangement when specifying a microsurgical instrument.
Selecting the right configuration
State straight or curved jaw geometry, overall length, jaw length and width, gripping-face texture and locking or non-locking design. These details affect whether a replacement matches an existing tray. Include a close-up or part drawing when ordering against a sample; the Castroviejo name alone does not define every dimension.
Measurements and evidence
Medesy’s Castroviejo range includes 140 mm and 180 mm straight and curved instruments, with separate plain and tungsten-carbide versions. These measurements document common reference models. Confirm the supplied length and jaw or insert construction in your quotation. The quotation should identify one exact size and jaw construction.
Care and documentation
Sample inspection should include jaw alignment, spring return and smooth catch engagement. Obtain the actual model’s intended needle range and validated care instructions before clinical use. Fine jaws should not be assigned a competitor’s needle-size limits or cutting capability, and handle colour is not a material certificate.
Request a quotation
Send the product reference, required pattern, quantity and destination. Include any drawing or sample-matching requirement so the quotation can identify dimensions, packing contents and the documentation needed for your order.
Measurement research and instruction references
These sources describe other manufacturers’ reference models. They do not establish the manufacturer, exact dimensions, compatibility or validated instructions for the instrument we supply. Use the supplied model’s drawing and IFU for those details.
