Delicate, Controlled Needle Handling for General Surgery

The 10mm Castro Needle Holder is a straight, delicate instrument designed to grasp and control surgical needles during suturing. Its 10mm configuration supports focused handling in tasks where precise needle positioning and a light-touch instrument profile are valuable. The no-lock design allows the user to maintain direct control of the jaws throughout needle manipulation, helping support smooth placement, repositioning, and release. As part of the needle holder family, it is suited to general surgical workflows that call for deliberate instrument handling and dependable access to the operative field without the added engagement of a locking mechanism.
