For general suturing of surface wounds; the invention provides a thin suture needle (2) of surgical steel, which has its own piercing tip (5) and a spherical anchor (3) permanently molded on the non piercing end of the suture needle (2). The permanent anchor (3) has a first cavity (26) and a second opposing cavity (27), with square cross sections, which receive the mating projections (21) and (22) on the insertion tool (4), for easy insertion thru the wound (10). A second free anchor (14) has similar square cavities (30) and (31) which also receive the projections (21) and (22) on the tool (4). An additional pair of lateral apertures (32) and (33) receive the piercing end (5) of the needle (2) after it has been passed through the wound (10). A sheerable barrier (36) between the anchor cavities (30) and (31) crimps the second anchor (14) in place, with pressure on the tool (4); after the wound (10) has been moved to the desired closed position with the tool (4) and the second anchor (14). |
