SUTURING NEEDLE STRAIGHT
In stock
Straight suturing needles in veterinary medicine are specialized surgical tools used for accessible, linear tissue closures. Unlike curved needles, they are manipulated directly by hand without needle holders. They are primarily used in large animal and farm animal procedures, tendon repair, and securing catheters.

Specs & features.
Straight needles (frequently referred to as Keith needles or Bunnell needles) are characterized by an unbent, straight metallic shaft. Because they lack curvature, veterinarians drive them through the tissue in a single, straight linear pass. They are designed for external wounds, skin closures, and easily accessible tissue planes where hand-held suturing is efficient and practical.
No specifications have been listed.
- Direct Hand Manipulation: Because they are straight, they are designed to be held directly by the veterinarian’s fingers or used without surgical instrumentation in wide, open wounds.
- High-Grade Material: Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, they are rigid, corrosion-resistant, and designed to withstand bending forces.
- Point Variations: Straight needles come in different point profiles. Cutting needles (triangular bodies) are ideal for piercing tough, fibrous skin, while round bodies (taper points) are preferred for delicate soft tissues to minimize trauma.
