ABSTRACT:
A combined surgical needle-suture device of controlled suture release characteristics and a method for manufacturing the device employ a shrinkable tubing to connect the needle to the suture. The tip of the suture which is connected to the needle possesses a reduced cross section relative to the remainder of the suture, such reduced cross section being capable of rupture by applying an amount of force therto, e.g., a sharp tug, within a predetermined range thus effecting needle separation.
