This paper describes the design for a microsurgical stainless steel atraumatic needle for primary suture of small peripheral nerves in which the epineurium is friable. The needle (manufactured by Dixey Instruments, U.K.) is curved with a spearshaped point and a small cutting edge on the concave surface. The rest of the body of the needle is round. We have found with histological evidence that there is an improvement in accuracy of suture placement on previously used needles in experimental and clinical microsurgery of peripheral nerves.
本文介绍了一种用于缝合脆弱神经外膜的小型外周神经初次缝合的显微外科不锈钢无损伤针的设计。该针（由英国迪克西仪器公司制造）呈弯曲状，针尖为矛形，凹面有一小刀刃。针体其余部分为圆形。我们通过组织学证据发现，在周围神经的实验性和临床显微手术中，使用该针进行缝线放置的准确性有所提高。
