Suture needles designed to close surgical and/or traumatic wounds, including the skin. Surgical suture needles may have opposite cutting edges that cut tissue (i.e., cutting needles), tapered tips that pierce tissue without cutting (i.e., tapered needles), or blunt tips. Surgical suture needles are available for general surgical use and also for specialized surgical suture in tissues and/or organs, such as the intestines, tonsils, fistula, and kidneys.
