Suture needle HM6731C

1/2 inch

Overview
Precision Series surgical needles use an advanced stainless‑steel oxidation coating to produce a matte black surface that absorbs light, reduces reflection and increases contrast in fluid environments. These needles are developed for microsurgical and delicate procedures (including ophthalmic surgery) and are supplied with PGLA braided suture in multiple geometries and sizes.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

• Black oxidized needle surface improves contrast and visibility under surgical lighting
• Easier distinction from water and surgical fluids, reducing visual confusion during placement
• Reduced glare and reflection to support precise needle handling

Design & Materials

• Surface: stainless‑steel oxidation coating (black oxidized, light‑absorbing finish)
• Suture: PGLA braided material
• Needle geometries: 1/2 circle (round), 3/8 circle (cutting)
• Typical needle lengths: 13 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, 24 mm, 26 mm, 37 mm (examples)
• Thread lengths: 75 cm, 90 cm (examples)

Packaging & Handling (Patented)

• Patented packaging designed to enable controlled, smooth suture withdrawal and avoid tangling
• Step 1: Prepare the suture box and needle holder
• Step 2: Insert the needle holder and open the needle clip
• Step 3: Hold the needle and remove the suture
• Step 4: Withdraw the suture without twisting or tangling

Suitable Procedures

• Ophthalmic surgery and other microsurgical or delicate procedures requiring enhanced visual control
• General surgery applications where improved needle visibility and precise handling are required
