suture needle
Wound-closing instrument
A suture needle is a specialized surgical needle designed to carry thread through tissue when closing wounds or incisions.
Unlike sewing needles, suture needles are typically curved to allow rotation through flesh, with various tip shapes—cutting, tapered, or blunt—suited to different tissue types: The surgeon selected a curved suture needle for the delicate repair.
