Laschal - Surgical & Restorative Instruments

Castro-Viejo Needle Holders

Problem

Problems exist with conventional CastroViejo needle holders. There is not adequate distance between locking components when the jaws first touch, frequently causing the handle to lock unintentionally during instrument ties. Due to stiffness of the hardened steel construction, creating a comfortable distance between locking components of a conventional needle holder results in an exorbitant amount of destructive pressure being placed on the tips when the lock is engaged, quickly leading to splaying of the tips when holding heavy gauge needles. Additionally, the inherent inflexibility and weight of carbon steel instruments limits the extreme tactile sensitivity needed to “feel” the needle penetrate and pass through the tissue.

Solution
Castro-Viejo Needle Holders

Laschal Castro-Viejo Needle Holders set a new standard for splay-resistance, smooth operation and tactile sensitivity. They hold all gauges of suture needles without compromising grip strength or service life.

  • Ultra-light 1/2 ounce design provides unsurpassed tactile “feel”. Suture and tie with less risk of tearing mucosa and fine tissue.
  • Laschal pressure-controlled spring steel construction relieves excess pressure and mechanical stress to grasp heavier needles (0, 2-0) without splaying.
  • Holds micro-surgical needles (12-0) without distorting the shape.
  • Will not sever fine polypropylene or nylon suture during instrument ties.
  • Micro-serrated 1.8mm x 6mm tungsten carbide tips provide durable gripping power.
  • Ergonomic, rounded handles allow rotation of needle through tissue with fingers instead of wrist.
  • Features more distance between locking components to reduce the incidence of unintentional locking during instrument ties.
  • All Laschal needle holders are nonmagnetic to eliminate attraction.
