Specs & features.

Curved needles feature an arc-shaped body that requires manipulation with an instrument known as a needle holder (such as a Mayo-Hegar or Olsen-Hegar driver). Instead of forcing the needle straight down, the surgeon twists their wrist, allowing the curve of the needle to glide smoothly along its precise track. They are available in various curvatures, needle tip profiles, and sizes (from 6mm to 40mm).

No specifications have been listed.

Material: Constructed from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel to prevent breakage, corrosion, or deformation while passing through thick animal hides or muscle layers.
Seamless Swage: Modern curved needles are typically swaged (fused directly to the suture thread), eliminating the bulk of a needle eye and drastically reducing tissue trauma.
Needle Curvature: Needles are classified by the fraction of a circle they form.\(\frac{1}{4}\) Circle: Best for superficial work and ophthalmic (eye) surgeries.\(\frac{3}{8}\) Circle: Highly versatile, commonly used for general soft tissue and skin closure.\(\frac{1}{2}\) Circle: Ideal for deep cavities and confined spaces.\(\frac{5}{8}\) Circle: Used for highly confined, deep spaces like the pelvis or urogenital tract.
