Suture needle A straight type
In stock
A straight (or Keith) suture needle is a linear surgical needle primarily used for superficial and easily accessible tissues in veterinary medicine. Because of its uncurved shaft, it is typically manipulated directly by hand instead of using surgical.

Specs & features.
Straight needles allow for a direct, single linear pass through tissue without requiring the rotational, arced wrist movement of curved needles. They are most frequently used in large animal, equine, and farm animal procedures, as well as for closing superficial skin or attaching medical devices in small animals.
No specifications have been listed.
- Linear Trajectory: Ideal for situations where a straight path through the wound is easily accessible, allowing for rapid, single-pass suturing.
- No Needle Holders Needed: Surgeons generally guide the needle with their fingers and tie hand-knots, making them very practical for field conditions or high-throughput farm procedures.
- Versatile Tip Options: Available in cutting variations (for tough tissues like skin) and taper variations (for delicate tissues).
