  • Patent number: 8663242
    Abstract: The invention essentially relates to a surgical needle (17) comprising a long hollow body (18) and two ends (19, 20). The body (18) comprises a ventral wall (21) and a dorsal wall (22) which are connected to one another. According to the invention, the dorsal wall (22) and the ventral wall (21) extend along the long axis of the needle (17). Each of the two ends (19, 20) comprises a hollow beveled tip (23, 24). The needle (17) also comprises a hole (25) which is provided in the dorsal wall (22) of the body (18) and a slit (26) which is provided in the ventral wall (21).
