Laschal has developed 2 new Castroviejo Needle Holders.  Both models will hold any size needle without splaying and has no joint to snag suture during an instrument tie.  Made of flexibly resilient, memory [spring] stainless steel, these instruments are guaranteed never to rust, break, loosen or splay. The 'Cutting Edge' model # CE2-631-10L will also safely cut suture, eliminating the need for the surgeon to depend upon the assistant to do so, or to switch instruments. This [suture cutting] model speeds up the entire procedure and greatly reduces the incidence of accidents associated with suturing.
