Richard-Allan™ Surgical Needle - Straight Cutting Point, Keith Abdominal, 20G (.034" x2.964"), Sterile, 2/pouch, 72 pouches/bx

The Richard-Allan™ Keith Abdominal Needle (Aspen Surgical) is a heavy-duty, straight surgical needle designed for tough tissue penetration and skin closure. Manufactured from high-quality, true-tempered stainless steel, this needle is heat-treated to provide the structural integrity required for abdominal wall closure and other applications involving dense tissue.

This needle features a precision-ground cutting point, which facilitates easier passage through fibrous or resistant tissue by creating a small path for the needle body to follow. As a free-eyed needle, it offers the surgical team the versatility to choose from a wide range of suture materials. These needles are provided sterile in convenient pairs, optimized for the high-demand environment of the operating room.

Please note: All prices are for boxes.
