The Castroviejo Needle Holder is the industry standard for microsurgery and delicate tissue reconstruction. At Adas Instruments, we manufacture this essential tool with premium German Stainless Steel to ensure longevity and balance. Its spring-action mechanism allows surgeons to lock and unlock the jaws with a gentle squeeze, reducing hand fatigue during long procedures.
Why Choose Our Castroviejo Driver?
