The Advantages of Using Castroviejo Needle Holders
When it comes to fine suturing, few professionals can do it better than periodontists. These highly-trained specialists that treat periodontal disease and perform implant procedures have some of the finest suturing techniques found in any specialization. But it’s not all in the technique. Many periodontists use Castroviejo needle holders, which can make the suturing process simpler and safer.
If you want to suture like a periodontist or even if you are a periodontist and have seen your colleagues get results that seem unobtainable to you, it’s time to invest in Castroviejo needle holders for your clinic.
Design Elements of Castroviejo Needle Holders
Design is everything when it comes to Castroviejo needle holders. Focused on efficiency, Castroviejo needle holders combine the best elements of tweezers/forceps with scissor-style beaks for grip at the end.
Castroviejo needle holders (also known as Castro needle holders) are made from stainless steel and can incorporate other materials like carbide for more resilient tips.
Unlike standard instruments, Castro needle holders lock with compression of the handles and unlock with the same motion. Convenience and control are ensured when using Castro needle holders.
One-Click Locking Castro Needle Holders
The locking design is incredibly simple. There’s no complicated ratcheting system, which eliminates complexity in the instrument while also reducing the complexity of chairside procedures. Because the mechanism locks and unlocks with the same motion, Castro needle holders are intuitive to use.
There’s virtually no learning curve to operating Castro needle holders.
Better Dexterity with Castroviejo Needleholders
Periodontists are known for their fine control and excellent sutures in extremely tight spaces. To achieve consistency like the best professionals, clinicians need dexterity. Castroviejo needleholders allow for dexterity in the way that they are held.
Castroviejo needleholders are gripped like pens. It becomes easy, intuitive, and comfortable to pivot, raise, lower, and otherwise manipulate Castroviejo needleholders.
One of the most essential aspects of suturing (and any type of dental procedure) is the confidence that the clinician feels. If you lack confidence in your current suturing tools, Castroviejo needleholders will give you the assurance and certainty needed to close wounds, suture membranes, and provide the best possible care to your patients.
Fatigue is reduced thanks to the fine control offered. A full 180 degrees of rotational motion is allowed even without moving the wrist. The movement is mostly in the fingers, allowing for greater precision.
An Easier Entry Point with Castro Needleholders
Curved needles provided on sutures like our Unify PGA Violet Sutures (SKU: M-G518R16) should be inserted at a 90-degree angle in most cases. This can be difficult to do with some instruments, but it isn’t a problem with Castro needleholders. The fine motion and control described in the previous section make it easy to insert the needle, every time. This can greatly reduce the time it takes to perform suturing and minimizes trauma for the patient.
Castro needleholders are easy to work with, which is the underlying point of all the benefits described so far. Best of all, they’re also cost-efficient, making for an easy decision when considering Castro needleholders for your dental office.
