<p>A surgical suturing needle has a tapered needle head with a multi-faceted cross-section. The cross-section is formed by three circumferentially-spaced cutting edges (20) formed at a primary angle ( alpha ) and a plurality of extended legs (24), each extending from one of the primary angles and formed at a secondary angle ( THETA ). In addition, a plurality of connecting surfaces (26) adjoin adjacent extended legs. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
