This type of needle penetrates and passes through tissues by stretching without cutting. A sharp tip at the point flattens to an oval/rectangular shape. The sharpness is determined by taper ratio (8-12:1) and tip angle (20-35°). The needle is sharper if it has a higher taper ratio and lower tip angle. The Tapered Suture Needle is used for easily penetrated tissues (eg, subcutaneous layers, dura, peritoneum, abdominal viscera) and minimizes potential tearing of fascia.
