The Castroijo Needle Holder is a type of surgical instrument commonly used in various medical and surgical procedures. Named after the Spanish ophthalmologist Ramón Castroijo , this needle holder is specifically designed for delicate and fine work, making it particularly popular in ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures.
Key features of the Castroijo Needle Holder include fine, serrated jaws for a secure grip on needles, as well as a ratcheted locking mechanism to hold the needle in place during suturing. The instrument often has a delicate and slender profile, allowing for precise control in intricate surgical tasks.
In addition to ophthalmic surgery, the Castroviejo Needle Holder may also find use in other microsurgical procedures where precision and fine control are essential, such as in plastic surgery or neurosurgery.
