Dental Needle Holder – Castroviejo Needle Holders Smooth Cvd with lock – NES-3068

12 cm
At 12cm, the Castroviejo Needle Holder, Smooth Curved with Lock (NES-3068) is one of the more compact instruments in this needle holder lineup, built for exceptionally fine, close-in suturing work. Its smooth curved jaw and locking mechanism combine two features prized in delicate closure procedures: gentle thread handling and secure needle retention between passes.
The locking feature lets practitioners hold the needle firmly in place without maintaining constant hand tension, useful during pauses in a suturing sequence or when repositioning for the next pass. Combined with the smooth jaw surface, which avoids the thread-fraying risk of toothed jaws, this instrument suits the finest suturing tasks in maxillofacial and reconstructive work.
Its compact 12cm size makes it especially easy to control in tight surgical fields, where a longer instrument would be harder to maneuver precisely. Among the maxillofacial surgery instruments used for fine closure, the Castroviejo pattern remains a benchmark for delicate, controlled suturing.
Built from surgical-grade stainless steel, this needle holder withstands repeated sterilization cycles and daily precision handling, keeping its locking mechanism and curved jaw reliable over years of demanding use.
