Castroviejo Needle TC Curved Scissors

Castroviejo Needle TC Curved Scissors

The Castroviejo Needle TC Curved Scissors is a single-ended microsurgical instrument built to the Castroviejo pattern with tungsten carbide jaw inserts. The Castroviejo design combines a needle holder jaw with an integrated scissors function in one compact instrument. The curved jaw positions the suture needle at the accurate angle needed for micro gingival and soft-tissue suturing. Tungsten carbide inserts line the gripping surface of the jaw. Those inserts hold the needle without slipping across repeated suture passes. The spring-lock mechanism keeps the jaw closed between strokes. The instrument body is solid stainless-steel with the balance point calibrated for single-finger spring-action control.

This instrument handles both needle driving and suture trimming without switching tools. The Castroviejo microsurgical needle holder curved jaw positions the suture needle accurately on each pass through delicate gingival tissue. Tungsten carbide inserts maintain consistent needle grip across far more suture cycles than standard stainless jaws allow. The spring-lock mechanism releases cleanly between needle passes. That keeps the surgeon’s hand position stable throughout the suturing sequence. The integrated scissor’s function trims suture material without reaching for a second instrument. Full stainless-steel construction withstands repeated autoclave cycles at 134°C without dimensional change.

Periodontists and oral surgeons performing micro suturing at gingival and soft-tissue sites need a needle holder that controls the needle accurately and trims suture material in the same working stroke. The Castroviejo Needle TC Curved Scissors suits micro gingival suturing, flap closure, and guided tissue regeneration procedures where needle control and suture trimming must happen in a confined operative field. It fits any case where a Castroviejo needle holder curved spring lock instrument must combine tungsten carbide grip with integrated scissor function.

Leader Surgical manufacture these instruments to periodontal and oral microsurgical practices that demand finesse at every stage of the suturing process. Their Castroviejo range holds the same dimensional standards across the full product lifecycle.

What is the Castroviejo TC Curved Needle Holder used for in dental practice?

The Castroviejo TC Curved Needle Holder is a microsurgical instrument used to hold and drive fine suture needles (gauge 5-0 to 8-0) during accurate wound closure in dental microsurgical procedures, including periodontal surgery, implant procedures, connective tissue grafting, and any intraoral suturing task requiring microsurgical finesse.
