Suture Supply Co Knowledge Hub
Blunt needle sutures are designed to separate tissue rather than cut through it, helping reduce accidental glove perforation and minimising tissue trauma during surgical procedures. Blunt point needles are commonly used in fascia closure, abdominal surgery, gynaecological procedures and soft tissue approximation involving friable or delicate tissue structures.
