Soft tissue kit for micro surgery 18 cm kit, (suitable for 4-0 to 9-0 suture)

The Castroviejo Micro-Surgery Kit is used across several specialized domains in dentistry and medicine, primarily where extreme precision and handling of delicate tissues under magnification (like a surgical microscope or high-power loupes) are required.

Here are the primary domains where this kit is most frequently used:

1. 🦷 Dental Microsurgery

This is the largest domain in dentistry where the Castroviejo kit is considered the gold standard.

• Periodontal Plastic Surgery (PPS):

  • Root coverage procedures (e.g., coronally advanced flaps, free gingival grafts).

  • Gingival contouring and papilla reconstruction.

  • Minimally invasive soft tissue management around implants.

• Implant Dentistry:

  • Precise soft tissue flap closure over bone grafts or membranes during Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR).

  • Second-stage surgical exposure and peri-implant soft tissue management.

• Microsurgical Endodontics (Endodontic Surgery):

  • Apicoectomy (root-end resection) and retro-filling.

  • Handling the delicate flaps and soft tissue surrounding the periapical bone.

• Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery:

  • Repairing small nerve or vessel injuries.

  • Cleft lip/palate repair requiring fine tissue manipulation.

2. 👁️ Ophthalmic Surgery (Original Domain)

The instruments were originally designed for eye surgery, where the tissues (like the cornea and conjunctiva) are incredibly delicate and sutures are microscopically fine.

• Cataract, glaucoma, and corneal transplant surgery.

• Retinal procedures.

3. 🧠 Neuro- and Vascular Surgery

The need for manipulation of minute nerves, vessels, and tissues in confined spaces makes these tools valuable here.

• Micro-vascular anastomosis (joining small blood vessels).

• Fine nerve repair (neurorrhaphy).

4. ✋ Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Used for procedures involving fine skin grafts, flaps, and repairing small defects, often involving the hands or face.

• Hand surgery (tendon/nerve repair).

• Aesthetic facial surgery.

In summary, the kit's domain is any procedure requiring the precise handling of delicate tissue and fine sutures under magnification.
