摘要: A needle having ten edges, forming a star-shaped cross-section. The also presents tapered end. With reduced cross-sectional area, the improved results in easier tissue penetration, better wound opening area performance, and minimized distortion. In an alternate embodiment, is further by creating eight-sided,
