Fine Control for Micro Suturing
The round ZEPF-Line handle is rotated between the fingers for smooth needle passage, while the slim jaws keep the view of the surgical field open. Tungsten carbide inserts grip the needle without twisting and resist wear far longer than plain stainless steel.
Slim Variant
This "F" version is slimmer than the standard tungsten carbide curved Castroviejo needle holder (41.011.17TC) — ideal for delicate tissue and very fine sutures. Made in Germany by Helmut Zepf.
