ABSTRACT:
A needle-suture combination is provided in which the suture has a weakened segment adjacent its attachment to the needle. The weakened segment is provided by a notch which reduces the effective cross-sectional area of the suture by a controlled amount. The weakened segment permits a surgeon to separate the needle from the suture by a sharp tug.
