Abstract
A surgical needle for use in a circular needle applier comprises a distal leading end, a proximal trailing end, and an arced body between the leading and trailing ends. The body has a medial face and a lateral face. A first step on the body is adapted to be engaged by a circular needle applier. The first step is positioned distally from the leading end. A longitudinal flat extends proximally from the first step. The flat defines a generally D-shaped cross sectional shape in the body. A second step on the body is adapted to be engaged by a circular needle applier. The second step is positioned about 180 degrees from the first step. A length of suture is connected to the trailing end.
