A suture needle having, in sequence, a shaft portion, a tip portion, a conical point portion and a point. The shaft portion may be straight or curved, and cylindrical or tapered. The tip portion has at least two substantially flat surfaces. The conical point portion is of conical shape having a substantially round cross section adjacent to the point of the needle. A plane tangent to the surface of the conical point portion makes a greater angle with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the needle than does the angle formed by the intersection of a plane through a flat surface of the tip portion and the longitudinal centerline of the needle.
