Abstract 445,656. Sewing - needles. OVING- TON, E. J., 62, Harvard Street, Newtonville, Massachusetts, U.S.A. May 25, 1935, No. 15313. Convention date, May 29, 1934. [Class 112] A needle, particularly a surgical needle, has a point with a curved channel leading thereto so that the needle, as it penetrates cuts and displaces a tongue of tissue which can afterwards return to the hole made. The needle 14 may have the cross-sectional shapes shown in Figs. 12, 13 and 14, a and b being the cutting edges. As the needle enters the tissue 20, a tongue 24 is displaced, Fig. 7, and this tongue helps, on returning, to bind the stitches firmly, Fig. 10.
