Cardiovascular

Product Details

A wide range that you can rely on

Our wide range of cardiovascular needles ensures you always have the right needle for the job, including cardiovascular, peripheral vascular and general closure applications.   

  • Surgalloy™ provides enhanced strength and ductility, resulting in greater resistance to breaking and bending. 
  • NuCoat™ technology/NuCoat™ coating significantly enhances initial and multi-pass penetration, resulting in smoother passage, less tissue drag and less potential for tissue damage. 
  • Laser chamfering diminishes the chance for suture fracturing at the swage or damage from needle articulation, allowing for a more reliable suture attachment.
Product Features

We provide taper point, penetrating taper, tapercutting, and conventional cutting needles in a range of curvatures (1/2 and 3/8 circle), lengths (from 9–90 mm) and wire diameters.  

  • CV taper point needles are designed with slim taper ratio geometry and without cutting edges to decrease leakage in vessels.   
  • CV tapercutting needles are designed to provide excellent penetration through hard, calcified arteries.

Plastic & Cosmetic

Product Details

Plastic and cosmetic surgery needles you can trust

Scars tell stories. And now more than ever, patients judge the success of their surgery on the appearance of their scars. That’s why we designed needles that are sharper and stronger than our legacy premium cutting needles – to give you unmatched consistency and control with a needle that helps you thread stories of success for your patients.

Product Features

Edgellant™ premium cutting needles 

The innovative robotic electropolishing process used to produce our Edgellant™ premium cutting needles creates a sharper cutting needle, and our new heat treatment makes it stronger.  

Benefits of Edgellant™ premium cutting needles are:  

  • Reduced penetration force needed to pass1
  • Better needle control when passing through tissue than our legacy needles2  
  • 30% sharper than our legacy needles, staying sharp after multiple passes1
  • 27% stronger than our legacy needles3
  • Less likely to bend than our legacy needles3 and, if they do, more likely to go back into shape without breaking4
  • 27% better second degree bend moment than our legacy needles4
  • As sharp or sharper than Ethicon™* equivalent needles1
  • Needle tips three times stronger than Ethicon™* equivalent needle tips4

ReliaPoint™ cutting needles 

ReliaPoint™ cutting needles will replace conventional cutting needles. And they’ll be available in all Medtronic suture materials.  

Benefits of ReliaPoint™ cutting needles include: 

  • New tip geometry makes the needle sharper and easier to pass than equivalent Ethicon™* needles5
    • 34% sharper at first pass 
    • 40% sharper after 30 passes 
  • Reinforced reliability due to the enhanced silicone coating process, which helps maintain sharpness across multiple passes, for example when closing long incisions5
  • Improved suture-to-needle diameter ratio compared with our legacy needles makes pass through more consistent

Ophthalmic

Product Details

Dynamic needles for delicate procedures

We offer premium spatula, spatula and reverse cutting needles for a range of ophthalmic surgery applications, including cornea, sclera, eyelid, muscle and other tissues repair.

Product Features

Our improved SS and HE needles use AcuTip™ technology, a unique manufacturing process, which results in:* 

  • Unparalleled sharpness and strength 
  • Decreased penetration force 
  • Enhanced accuracy and precision 
  • Improved consistency and ductility 
  • Longer needle life, remaining sharper over multiple passes 

In addition, our ophthalmic needles are coated in NuCoat™ technology, which significantly enhances initial and multi-pass penetration, to provide smother passage, less tissue drag and less tissue damage.  

Our range of SE needles for primary corneal–scleral closure are made from Surgalloy™ for enhanced strength and ductility, to prevent bending and breakage. 

Our SS and HE needles are proven to perform better than competitor needles: 

  • SS-24 needles: 56% stronger than Ethicon’s S-24 needle, and require equivalent penetration force7,8
  • HE-1 needles: 74% stronger than Ethicon’s G-1 needle, and require 25% less penetration force on the first pass, and up to 38% less force on the eight pass9

Our needles vary in curvature, including 1/2, 1/4 and 3/8 circles, as well as length (4.8–13 mm).
