Richard-Allan™ Surgical Needle - 1/2 Circle, Trocar Point, Mayo, Catgut, 18G (.050" x1.521"), Sterile, 2/pouch, 72 pouches/bx

The Richard-Allan™ Mayo Catgut Needle (Aspen Surgical) is a heavy-duty, curved surgical needle designed for suturing dense, tough tissues. Constructed from high-quality, true-tempered stainless steel, this needle is specifically heat-treated to ensure maximum strength and resistance to bending under high-stress conditions.

The needle features a specialized trocar point—a robust, three-edged tip that combines the penetration power of a cutting needle with the strength required for heavy fascial closure. The 1/2 circle geometry and "Mayo" profile make it exceptionally well-suited for deep tissue layers where maneuverability and strong tissue grip are required. As a free-eyed needle, it allows for the use of thick suture materials, such as catgut or heavy synthetic absorbables, common in orthopedic and general surgical applications.

Please note: All prices are for boxes.
