• Maintains needle penetration performance and handling comparable to conventional surgical needles.
• Reduces inadvertent puncture risk for surgeons and operating‑room personnel in high‑risk environments.

Specially Designed Needle Tip

• The tip geometry is modified to reduce post‑penetration sharpness while preserving effective tissue engagement.
• Contributes to fewer accidental needle‑stick incidents for clinical teams.
• Engineered to support consistent suturing performance across indicated procedures.

Suitable for High-Risk Surgical Environments

• Intended for applications where reducing needle‑stick exposure is a priority.
• Supports safer needle handling during general and obstetric surgical procedures per product information.
• Can be selected for operative settings with elevated sharps‑injury risk.
