To improve appearance in suturing using a suture needle.SOLUTION: A suture needle (10) has a sharp distal end and a suture thread mounted to the proximal end, wherein the suture needle is provided with a first curved part on the distal end side and a second curved part on the proximal end side, the second curved part is curved more steeply than the first curved part, and the angle formed between a tangent at the proximal end of the second curved part and a straight line which is in contact with the suture needle and is parallel to a virtual line connecting the proximal end and the distal end is greater than 67.5 ° but not greater than 100 °.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
