Hi,
I've been using Kalt suture needles for years. They are 3/8 round,
which I find a little easier to use than 1/2 round.
I get the largest size 00, which has a similar appearance to a 12
sharp straight needle (only curved).
The supplier is Fine Science Tools (www.finescience.com). They sell
other handy things like entomology pins, forceps and tweezers. It's a
Canadian company, but they have distributors worldwide.
