Consistently Sharp Needles For Your Most Delicate Procedures

• Wide range of curvatures: 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" circle.
• M.E.T.™ needles are available in diameters of 70, 100 and 140 microns.
• Traditional taper point needles available in diameters if 50, 70, 100 and 140 microns.

The precision-faceted M.E.T.™ needle offers a long, narrow point for excellent penetration.

• Reduces force required for initial penetration.
• Reduces tissue tenting for more precise needle placement.
• Eases penetration of calcified tissue...pass after pass.

Trisected penetration made by Sharpoint™ M.E.T.™ reduces risk of leakage.

• Precision-faceted point allows the suture to better fill the hole.
• Traditional taper point needles can leave the suture floating within a jagged hole.
