The best surgical needles are :

• Made of high quality stainless steel
• As slim as possible without compromising strength
• Stable in the grasp of a needle holder
• Able to carry suture material through tissue with minimal trauma
• Sharp enough to penetrate tissue with minimal resistance
• Rigid enough to resist bending, yet ductile enough to resist breaking during surgery
• Sterile and corrosion-resistant to prevent introduction of micro-organisms or foreign materials
