Castroviejo Suturing Forceps – Delicate Tungsten Carbide, 0.3 to 1.5 mm Tips, 4 in
$21.99
BusinessMed® Castroviejo Suturing Forceps (Delicate Tungsten Carbide) are Castroviejo forceps with fine teeth on tungsten carbide jaws, 4 in (10 cm) long, made with 0.3, 0.5, 0.9 or 1.5 mm tips, used to hold delicate tissue and suture in ophthalmic and plastic microsurgery.
- Pyramid-shaped carbide teeth
- Wide flat handle
- German stainless steel body, satin finish
BusinessMed® Castroviejo Suturing Forceps carry tungsten carbide on the jaws, the hard insert that holds its tooth edges where plain steel wears against needles and suture. The pyramid-shaped teeth meet point to point, so the same tip fixes tissue for the needle pass and then holds the suture.
What are Castroviejo suture forceps used for?
- Ophthalmic surgery: fixing corneal and other fine eye tissue for each stitch, as in keratoplasty.
- Plastic and microsurgery: holding delicate tissue and fine suture near the eye and in other small fields.
