Cynamed TC Castroviejo Micro Needle/Suture Holder Driver with Tungsten Carbide Inserts and Gold Ends - Premium Grade Instrument (5.5 in. Straight Jaws)

I wasn't familiar with the locking device, so I couldn't understand why they weren't opening after locking. The picture tells the story: one half of the locking mechanism was hanging up on the other. It was easy to correct by very slightly bending the—circled in the photo—bottom half of the mechanism towards us so that it would slide properly against the upper part. It does not take much force and was easy to bend the part into compliance. Once that was solved, they are very well made and with jaws that are formed excellently and come together perfectly aligned. I like them.

Stay away from this product. It is a piece of garbage. Not worth the savings. Get what you pay for. Need to use 2 hands to open them and hard to manipulate to suture with.

Price is great. These needles holders tend to break after 20+ sterilization cycles, regardless of the cost of these units.

Cheap. Had a few for about a year. The locking mechanism is starting to fall apart. Good for a starter until you can afford HuFriedy. Will be upgrading soon.
