Contact SupplierThe third cutting edge is on the outer convex curvature of the needle (depth-seeking). These needles are stronger than conventional cutting needles and have a reduced risk of cutting out tissue. The needles are designed for tissue that is tough to penetrate (eg, skin, tendon sheaths, oral mucosa). Reverse-cutting needles are also beneficial in cosmetic and ophthalmic surgery, causing minimal trauma.
Cutting edge on the Outside. Decrease the likelihood of sutures pullling through tissue.
The body of this needle is triangular in cross-section with the apex cutting edge on the outside on the outside of the needle curvature. This improves the strength of the needle and particularly increases resistance to bending. The tissue is protected in case of accidental traction.
