Blunt needle suture FAQs
What products are included in this collection?
The collection brings together blunt needle sutures across polydioxanone, polyglactin 910, poliglecaprone 25 and polypropylene in multiple USP sizes, strand lengths and blunt-point configurations.
What identifies a blunt needle suture?
The manufacturer identifies the needle as blunt or blunt point. Descriptions may additionally include Dolphin, ETHIGUARD or another proprietary designation, which should be matched exactly against the authorised requirement.
Is blunt point the same as taper point?
No. They are distinct manufacturer-defined point profiles. Match the complete needle wording, code and dimensions rather than selecting by a general rounded-body description.
Are absorbable and non-absorbable sutures included?
Yes. Blunt point describes the needle rather than the suture material, so the catalogue can include both categories. Verify the polymer, construction and absorption profile separately.
How should I compare blunt needle options?
Match the manufacturer’s needle code, point type, diameter, curvature, length and single- or double-armed configuration against the original purchasing requirement.
How do I identify the correct product code?
Match the brand, material, absorbability, construction, USP size, colour, strand length, complete needle specification and pack quantity before confirming the manufacturer catalogue code.
