Information

They help to reduce repetitive movements during lengthy surgeries, thus relieving the practitioner. The unique design features allow them to suture wounds and incisions very precisely and smoothly, with minimal trauma, thus reducing the risk of damaging peripheral tissue.

The Castroviejo HYGITECH Microsurgical Needle Holders have the following features:

- Ergonomic handle: the ergonomic needle holders have a very special design that offers an even more comfortable grip. Very light and flexible, the Castroviejo ergonomic needle holders are precision pliers. The new handle design combines the advantages of easy cleaning and sterilisation with a perfect fit.

Unlike other needle holders, the surgeon does not need to gauge the tightness of the needle, a single press on the arms with the palm of the hand engages the mechanism.

- Available in several sizes: 14 cm or 17.5 cm
