Surgical needles

Surgical need les in veterinary medicine are key tools that are used to thread threads and conduct sutures during various surgical procedures. There are many types of needles with different shapes, sizes and properties, and choosing the right needle depends on the type of surgery, tissue type and other factors. Here are some examples of the types of surgical needles used in veterinary medicine:

1. Sharp-tipped needles: These are standard needles used for various types of surgery. They can have straight or curved tips, depending on your needs.
2. Semicircular needles: These needles have a semicircular curve and are used for suturing soft tissue, such as skin.
3. Round needles: Round needles are used for suturing large areas of tissue, such as internal organs.
4. Double-sided needles: These needles have blades at both ends, which allows for quick threading and speeds up the suturing process.
5. Microsurgical needles: These are very small needles with thin and fine tips, used in precise microsurgical procedures.
6. Blood vessel sealing needles: These needles are specially designed to apply clips or clamps to blood vessels to control bleeding.
7. Thread supply needles: These needles have larger holes that make it easier to thread thread thread into the needle.
8. Taper needles: Taper needles have a thin end that makes them easier to penetrate tissue and reduces traumatization.
9. Winged needles: They have bends on the sides of the needle, making it easier to maneuver and pass through tissue.

The veterinarian will select the appropriate needle for a specific procedure, taking into account the type of tissue to be sutured and the patient's anatomical conditions. Precise threading of the needle and skillful guiding of the needle during suturing is important to achieve strong and aesthetically pleasing sutures, minimizing tissue traumatization.
