The majority of the needles are used in the human field in Japan, US, South Korea, Taiwan, Russia, Turkey and Malaysia. The type of steel used is stronger and of better quality than the quality used by many other manufacturers. Where other needles simply break if a strong force is applied, KRUUSE needles bend and regain their original shape. All needles are hand-made (drilled) and every single needle is visually inspected after production to ensure the required high quality. Both peel pack sutures with welded needles and loose needles are of the same high quality. Classification of needles Needles can be divided in different ways: Round vs. cutting needles, and finally the shape of the needle Round Taperpoint Taperpoint extra Tapercut Needles Cutting Reverse cutting Conventional cutting Micropoint spatula Needles All needles are high quality stainless steel. We recommend use of needles with welded suture to minimize wound trauma due to double thread 3/8 circle Straight ½ circle Compound curved Needle shape The shape of the needle is either 3/8 circle, ½ circle, compound curve or straight . Most of our ½ circle needles are round bodied and most of the 3/8 circle needles are reverse cutting. Micropoint spatula needle This type of needle is a special needle for ophthalmic surgery. The needle is flat and thin and has an extremely sharp cutting edge, which makes it suitable for penetration between the layers of scleral or corneal tissue. Reverse cutting needle Reverse cutting needles have a triangular shape in cross section, with the apex cutting edge on the outside of the needle. These features facilitate tissue penetration. Conventional cutting needle The conventional cutting needle has a triangular shape in cross section, and it cuts with the inner curve of the needle. Trocar point needle All KRUUSE trocar point needles are straight. The trocar point has a very sharp tip, and this type of needle is often used in the skin. Round bodied needles Round bodied needles are commonly used in soft tissue where separation of tissue fibers is preferred, rather than cutting the fibers apart. This would be preferable when suturing e.g. intestine, where the tissue closes tightly around the suture after passage of the needle. Round bodied taperpoint needle Taperpoint is the most common tip of round bodied needles. The taperpoint provides easy and tissue-preserving penetration by the needle. Round -bodied taperpoint extra needles This round bodied taper point needle differs slightly from other round bodied needles, as the cross section is oval instead of round. The outermost part of the tip (less than 0.5 mm) is drilled on three sides, i.e. working with this type of needle is a matter of preference, as it may appear to be sharper than traditional round-bodied taper point needle. Round bodied tapercut needle A round bodied needle with a cutting point; this needle gives good and easy penetration in tough tissues with little tissue trauma. 6.55mmmm Needles1133mmmm size chart 16 mm 166.5 mmmm 9 mm 1116913.5mmmmmmmm 111963 mmmmm m 221169 mmmmmm 22 mm 22 mm 19 mm 24 mm 2224 mmmm 24 mm 222664 mmmmmm 2360 mmm 26 mm 30 mm 306 mm 343006mmmmm m 36 mm 434098 mmmm 434068 mmmmmm 448080mmmm mm 4908mmm m 45 mm 55 mm 90 mm Shape 1/2 circle 3/8 circle Compound curve Straight 17 mm 11129772 mmmmmmmm 22 mm 2242mmmm 24 mm 21467 mmmmmm 26 mm 232602 mmmmmm 30 mm 24 mm 3306 mmmm 2366 mmmm 40 mm 36 mm 3400mmmm 48 mm 40 mm 3468 mmmm 45 mm 48 mm 40 mm 48 mm 65 mm 8605mmmm www.kruuse.com
