Needle Holder Castroviejo

(Aka: Suture Forceps) Used to grasp suture needles during suturing when pushing/pulling the needle and suture through tissue. It has short serrated jaws at the distal end to provide a better grip of the needle and it is available in a wide variety of sizes and designs, such as self-retaining, scissors-like design with ring handles at the proximal end: a tweezer-like design with bowed, hinged handles that are operated by squeezing together and a heavy-duty pincer-like design.

Vessel dilators: rounded and polished tips can be inserted closed at the end of the divided vessel with minimal trauma.
