Our improved SS and HE needles use AcuTip™ technology, a unique manufacturing process, which results in:*

• Unparalleled sharpness and strength
• Decreased penetration force
• Enhanced accuracy and precision
• Improved consistency and ductility
• Longer needle life, remaining sharper over multiple passes

In addition, our ophthalmic needles are coated in NuCoat™ technology, which significantly enhances initial and multi-pass penetration, to provide smother passage, less tissue drag and less tissue damage.

Our range of SE needles for primary corneal–scleral closure are made from Surgalloy™ for enhanced strength and ductility, to prevent bending and breakage.

Our SS and HE needles are proven to perform better than competitor needles:

• SS-24 needles: 56% stronger than competitor’s S-24 needle, and require equivalent penetration force^7,8
• HE-1 needles: 74% stronger than competitor’s G-1 needle, and require 25% less penetration force on the first pass, and up to 38% less force on the eight pass⁹

Our needles vary in curvature, including 1/2, 1/4 and 3/8 circles, as well as length (4.8–13 mm).
