The plain round point, however sharp, sometimes encoun-ters great resistance in being passed through dense tissue. The trocarpoint represented in Fig. 149, B, or the saddlers point, is less objec-tionable than the cutting edge, and may be introduced almost aseasily. Various needles with handles attached or detached and of differentcurves and shapes have been devised, some with eyes at their without eyes, and others of cylindrical form, through which thewire is passed lengthwise from one end to the other. They complicaterather than simplify an operation; they make punctured or incisedwounds many times larger than the sutures which they are to contain ;they are in no respect superior to the simple needle and thread.
