摘要:
A surgical needle is adapted for use with a circular needle applier having a needle driver. The surgical needle comprises an elongate body curved along a circular arc in a plane. The elongate body has a leading end, a trailing end, a longitudinal axis between the leading and trailing ends, a cross-sectional circumference, an upper face, a lower face, a medial face, and a lateral face. A pair of recessed features on the body are adapted to be engaged by a needle driver. A pair of protuberances are adjacent each recessed feature. The protuberances are longitudinally coincident with the respective recessed feature and circumferentially offset from the respective recessed feature. The protuberances project outwardly from the body.
