Half Circle Cutting Edge Needles – Sizes 1–8

Half Circle Cutting Edge Surgical Suture Needles

Half Circle Cutting Edge Needles are curved surgical suture needles designed for suturing dense tissues where a cutting-point configuration is required. The needles combine a half-circle 180° curvature with a triangular cutting point, providing a defined surgical needle pattern for professional use in general surgery, orthopedic procedures and veterinary medicine.

The product is available across sizes 1 through 8, giving surgical departments, veterinary practices, hospitals and procurement professionals a range of needle sizes for different suturing requirements. Peak Surgicals identifies this product under SKU PS-VS-00312.

Half Circle 180° Curvature

The needle body follows a half-circle, or 180-degree, curvature. This curved profile is intended for suturing in operative areas where a curved needle is preferred for controlled passage through tissue. The half-circle configuration allows the surgeon to advance the needle along its curved path using rotational movement with a suitable needle holder.

This curvature is particularly relevant in restricted or deeper surgical fields where the working space available for needle manipulation may be limited. Needle selection should be based on the tissue being sutured, surgical approach and technique chosen by the responsible clinician.

Triangular Cutting Point

The working tip has a triangular cutting-point configuration. Unlike a round taper-point needle, a cutting needle creates its passage through tissue using defined cutting edges. This configuration is intended for dense or resistant tissues where a cutting-point surgical needle is appropriate.

The product page identifies applications involving skin, dermal tissue, tendons, ligaments, fibrous fascia and other dense tissues. It is also listed for orthopedic procedures, general surgical closure and veterinary suturing applications. The appropriate needle size and technique should be determined according to the tissue and procedure.

Available Sizes 1 Through 8

The Half Circle Cutting Edge Needles are offered in Size 1, Size 2, Size 3, Size 4, Size 5, Size 6, Size 7 and Size 8. The listed range progresses from Size 1 as the largest configuration through Size 8 as the smallest configuration.

This range allows buyers to select the required needle size according to the intended suturing application. Hospitals, surgical centers, veterinary facilities and distributors should confirm the required size before ordering rather than relying on the general product name alone.

Product Specifications

Professional Surgical Applications

Half Circle Cutting Edge Needles are intended for professional suturing applications involving tissues that require a cutting needle configuration. In general surgery, the product is listed for closure of dense fascia and related tissue layers. Orthopedic applications include suturing structures such as tendons, ligaments and periosteal tissue when a cutting-point needle is selected by the surgeon.

Veterinary applications include suturing dense animal tissues and skin. The same 180° curvature and triangular cutting-point design apply across the available Size 1 through Size 8 range, allowing the clinician to select an appropriate size for the planned procedure.

Care and Handling

The needles are identified as reusable and autoclavable. Cleaning and sterilization should follow the healthcare or veterinary facility's validated instrument-processing procedures together with any applicable product-specific instructions. No unverified sterilization temperature, exposure time, pressure or drying parameters should be applied without the appropriate instructions.

Before reuse, inspect the cutting point, needle body and curved profile for visible wear, dulling, bending or other damage. A needle showing deterioration that could interfere with normal handling or tissue passage should be removed from service according to institutional procedures.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify Half Circle Cutting Edge Needles and reference SKU PS-VS-00312. Confirm the required configuration from the available Size 1, Size 2, Size 3, Size 4, Size 5, Size 6, Size 7 and Size 8 options before purchase.
