The TC Castroviejo Needle Holder is a high-quality microsurgical instrument specifically developed for the finest surgical suturing techniques in the dental and oral fields. The version with carbide inserts ("TC" = Tungsten Carbide) ensures exceptional longevity, secure grip, and precise control even with very fine needles (e.g., 4-0, 5-0, 6-0). The straight design and a length of 18 cm allow for use in hard-to-reach areas and for delicate microsurgical procedures.

Contraindication:Not suitable for suture material and needles larger than e.g. 4-0 or outside the recommended range.

Use should be avoided if very high tensile forces act on the needle and instrument, as this can impair the precision and longevity of the mechanism.
