Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical performance of cutting edge needles made of S45500 stainless steel alloy to Surgalloy stainless steel. The new high-nickel stainless steel alloy, Surgalloy, has superior performance characteristics over that of the other high-nickel stainless steel alloy, S45500. The Surgalloy needle is produced from a stronger stainless steel alloy than the S45500 needle. The Surgalloy needle has considerably greater resistance to bending than the needle produced from S45500 alloy. In addition, Surgalloy stainless steel has almost a twofold greater resistance to fracture than the S45500 stainless steel alloy.
