Surgical sutures that are directly attached to the surgical needle ends are called swaged sutures. A forming tool has been used to split one-half of the wire diameter of cardiovascular needles that forms a channel or receptacle for the suture. With the advent of lasers, uniform holes can now be prod

Because needle bending resistance is such an important factor in the selection of surgical needles, a standard quantitative test of needle bending has been devised to study the biomechanics of deformation of needles from three different commercial manufacturers. The superior resistance to deformatio
## Abstract Four stainless steel alloys, commonly used for surgical needles were tensile and bend tested. The materials included: ASTM 42000, ASTM 45500, ASTM 30200, and a Feโ12Crโ8.5Niโ3.2Moโ1.9Ti alloy. Small diameter wires in a wide range of strength levels were produced using various heat treat
