SUTURE NEEDLE FOR UTERINE HEMOSTATIC COMPRESSION

摘要

A suture needle for uterine hemostatic compression (1) includes a suture needle (10) and a suture thread (13). The suture needle (10) includes a body portion (14) extending linearly in a lengthwise direction (D1) and a puncture portion (15) provided at a tip of the body portion (14) in the lengthwise direction (D1) to be thrust into a uterus. The suture thread (13) is attached to a base end portion (17) that is on an opposite side of the puncture portion (15) in the suture needle (10). The puncture portion (15) is formed as a spherical surface that bulges toward a tip side of the lengthwise direction (D1) and has a radius in a connection portion with the body portion (14) substantially identical to a radius of the body portion (14).
