A new, compound-curved needle has been designed and developed for vascular surgery from a unique stainless steel alloy, American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) 45500. This needle has two different radii of curvature and a relatively straight body followed by a short, curved tapered point. Despite its geometry, it exhibits a similar sharpness, as well as resistance to bending and breakage, as did a curved needle with a single radius of curvature manufactured from the same alloy. The design of this new needle enabled the surgeon to pass it through the vessel wall with greater accuracy to a controlled depth and length of bite than the curved cutting edge needle with a single radius of curvature.
