Abstract: Provided is a medical suture needle configured so as to reduce the risk of bending and cracks occurring in a tip part in which a point is formed. The medical suture needle includes a cutting blade section (10) and a body section (20) that is continuous with the cutting blade section. The cutting blade section comprises one bottom surface (11) and two inclined surfaces (12) and includes a point (13) at which the one bottom surface and the two inclined surfaces meet, a cutting blade (14) formed so as to be continuous from the point and such that the bottom surface and the inclined surfaces meet, and a ridge (15) formed so as to be continuous from the point and such that the two inclined surfaces meet. The thickness of the cutting blade section decreases from the body section toward the point.

Abstract: Strength of a front end part having a sharp point of a medical suture needle is maintained and resistance when piercing tissue is reduced. There is provided a medical suture needle having a triangular cross section made of austenitic stainless steel having a fibrously extending structure, having two first slanted surfaces (11) ground and sandwiching a ridge (20), and a bottom surface (13) sandwiched between the two first slanted surfaces and ground. The ridge is formed comprising a first cutting blade (1) that is formed by the two first slanted surfaces (11) intersecting, a ridge part (20) that is formed on a body part side of the first cutting blade without the first slanted surfaces (11) intersecting, and a second cutting blade (2) that is formed by two second slanted surfaces (12) ground, intersecting and sandwiching the first cutting blade (1) on a front end side of the first cutting blade (1).
