What are the sections of a surgical needle used in suturing?

A surgical needle has three sections: the point, the body, and the swage. The point is the sharpest portion and is used to penetrate the tissue. The body represents the midportion of the needle. The swage is the thickest portion of the needle and the portion to which the suture material is attached.
