Needle Composition & Roles
Component | Role |
Swaged end | Connects the needle to the suture |
Needle body/shaft | Grasped by the needle holder — round, cutting, or reverse cutting depending on tissue type |
Round bodied | For friable tissue (e.g., liver, kidney) |
Cutting | For tough tissue (e.g., skin, sternum) |
Reverse cutting | Reduces risk of cutting through tissue — optimal for tendon or subcuticular sutures |
Needle point | Pierces tissue — sharp for minimal trauma, blunt for abdominal wall closure and friable tissue |
Curvature | Varies — ¼, ½, ⅜ arch, depending on surgical access |
