Castro Needle Holder straight heavy 11mm jaws 5.6 serrated handle

Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The Castro Needle Holder is a straight, heavy needle holder designed for grasping and guiding surgical needles during suturing in general surgery. Its 11mm jaws provide a defined working area for needle control, while the serrated pattern supports a secure instrument-to-needle interface during handling. The straight profile offers a familiar approach for tasks requiring direct alignment and visibility, and the 5.6-inch size supports practical manipulation within the operative field. Built around the core function of a needle holder, this instrument supports consistent handling across routine suturing workflows without adding unnecessary design complexity.

Use Cases

• Holding and guiding needles during general surgical suturing tasks.
• Supporting direct, straight-line needle positioning where a straight instrument profile is preferred.
• Using the 11mm jaws for controlled engagement with surgical needles.
• Applying a heavy needle-holder format to tasks that call for a substantial instrument feel during handling.
• Supporting instrument-table and operative workflows that require a serrated gripping pattern for needle control.
