Application of Medical Alloy used on Sutures needles
To make a better needle, and then a better experiences while surgeons apply sutures in the surgery. Engineers in the medical device industrial tried to make the needle sharper, stronger and safer in the past decades. The goal is to develop a sutures needles with the strongest performance, sharpest no matter how many penetrations to be done, most safe that never broken the tip and the body during the passing through tissues. Almost every major grade of alloy was tested the application on sutu... -
WEGO Surgical Needle – part 2
Needle can be classified into taper point, taper point plus, taper cut, blunt point, Trocar, CC, diamond, reverse cutting, premium cutting reverse, conventional cutting, conventional cutting premium, and spatula according to its tip. 1. Reverse Cutting Needle The body of this needle is triangular in cross section, having the apex cutting edge on the outside of the needle curvature. This improves the strength of the needle and particularly increases its resistance to bending. The Premium need... -
WEGO Surgical Needle – part 1
Needle can be classified into taper point, taper point plus, taper cut, blunt point, Trocar, CC, diamond, reverse cutting, premium cutting reverse, conventional cutting, conventional cutting premium, and spatula according to its tip. 1. Taper Point Needle This point profile is engineered to provide easy penetration of intended tissues. Forceps flats are formed in an area half way between the point and the attachment, Positioning the needle holder in this area confers extra stability on the n... -
420 stainless steel Needle
420 stainless steel is widely used in surgery over hundreds years. AKA “AS” needle named by Wegosutures for these sutures needle made by 420 steel. The performance is good enough base on precision manufacturing process and quality control. AS needle is the most easier on manufacturing compare with the order steel, it brings the cost-effect or economic to the sutures.

Overview of medical grade steel wire
Compared with the industrial structure in stainless steel, Medical stainless steel need to maintain excellent corrosion resistance in human body, to reduce the metal ions, dissolution, avoid intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion and local corrosion phenomenon, prevent fracture resulted from implanted devices, ensure the safety of the implanted devices.

300 stainless steel needle
300 stainless steel is popular in surgery since 21 century, including 302 and 304. “GS” was named and marked on the sutures needles made by this grade in Wegosutures product line. GS needle provides more sharp cutting edge and longer taper on the sutures needle, which leads the lower penetration.

Wego Needle
A surgical suture needle is an instrument used for suturing various tissues, using a sharp tip to bring the attached suture into and out of the tissue to complete the suture. The suture needle is used to penetrate the tissue and place sutures to bring the wound/incision close together. Although there is no need for suture needle in the process of wound healing, choosing the most appropriate suture needle is of great significance to ensure wound healing and reduce tissue damage.
