I like to use surgical needles from Acufirm  (www.acufirm.de), they do have an English homepage. Especially the type Pd (intestines) with plain eyes, very thin, all sorts.

Hello!

 

I am looking for a source for really thin, 1/2 round surgical needles with taper points and plain old eyes that are 2 to 3 cm.  I have ordered this sort of needle from miltex but they are rather thick.  I had a stash of these great thin ones and I'm down to my last one.  HELP!

 

Thanks,

Carol Kropnick
