Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, our Castroviejo Suturing Forceps have precise tips, a tying platform, and an ergonomic handle, making them a cornerstone instrument for ophthalmic suture manipulation.
- Micro-Serrated Tips (0.5 mm, 1 x 2 Teeth): The fine 0.5 mm serrations on the tips grasp suture material securely without causing tissue damage, allowing for precise manipulation of sutures during ophthalmic microsurgery. The small size of the serrations minimizes disruption to delicate ocular tissues.
- Integrated Tying Platform: The tying platform incorporated into the handle provides a stable surface for grasping sutures and manipulating knots with one hand, enhancing efficiency and control during suturing procedures.
- Sturdy Feel and Smooth Operation: The meticulous forging, milling, tempering, and polishing process ensures a well-balanced instrument with a solid, weighty feel that provides exceptional control. The smooth operating mechanism minimizes hand fatigue during extended procedures.
- Ergonomic Handle Design: The serrated handle conforms to the hand for a comfortable grip, reducing strain and improving user control during delicate procedures.
- Reliable and Consistent: The consistent quality and precision throughout the manufacturing process guarantee a dependable instrument for all your ophthalmic surgical needs.
- Single-Use: Eliminates the need for reprocessing, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and streamlining workflow for improved efficiency.
Castroviejo Suturing Forceps can be used in several ophthalmic surgeries.
- Cataract: Grasping and manipulating sutures during cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation.
- Corneal: Precise suturing for procedures like corneal transplants and pterygium excision.
- Glaucoma: Suturing for trabeculectomy and other glaucoma procedures.
- Oculoplastic: Suturing for eyelid repair and other oculoplastic procedures.
- Retinal: Suturing for retinal detachment repair and other vitreoretinal procedures.
Developed by Dr. Ramon Castroviejo in the 1950s, Castroviejo Suturing Forceps have become a mainstay in ophthalmology due to their versatility, precision control, and user-friendliness. These instruments may also be referred to as Castroviejo Needle Holders or Castroviejo Suturing Tying Forceps.
