<p>A tip portion has a proximal end and a distal end, distal end having a cross-sectional perimeter where the tip portion has a cross-sectional area which decreases progressively towards the distal end. A blunt tip is contiguous with the distal end of the tip portion, having a cross-sectional perimeter which is greater than the cross-sectional perimeter of the distal end of the tip portion. A suture mounting portion has a hole to which a suture is to be attached extending from the proximal end of the needle. A body portion is disposed between and contiguous with the suture mounting portion and the tip portion, where the body portion has a uniform cross-sectional area throughout an entire length of. The cross-section fo the tip portion is circular and the blunt tip has a spherical shape.</p> |
