A suture needle is a medical device commonly used in surgery, wound care, and other medical procedures. They are used to connect tissue and help close wounds. Suture needles are usually made of stainless steel, but titanium and other materials are sometimes used.
Suture needles come in different sizes, shapes, and types. Some are curved, and some are straight. Needle points also vary from sharp to blunt. Blunt needles are used to reduce the risk of tissue damage that sharp needles may cause. Each surgery should carefully select the size, shape, and type of suture needle to ensure the best results.
