Latest Patents

Suzuki’s patent, “Medical suture needle,” describes a needle with a cutting blade section continuous with its body section. The cutting section has a bottom surface and two inclined surfaces that meet at the point, forming a cutting blade and a ridge. Its thickness decreases from the body toward the point.

Curved grooves of a preset size are formed along the ridge on the inclined surfaces, beginning at a specified distance from the point. At the body-side ends of the grooves, their lower edges move away from the cutting blade toward the ridge as the grooves approach the body. This geometry is intended to help reduce bending and cracking in the tip region.
