MEDICAL PUNCTURE NEEDLE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PUNCTURE NEEDLE
A medical puncture needle includes an end portion including a needle tip; and a main body portion contiguous with the end portion, having a substantially circular cross-sectional outer shape. The end portion includes a first bevel formed by a curved surface, the bevel having an angle that gradually decreases toward the needle tip in an axial direction, in a cross-section orthogonal to the axial direction, relative to an imaginary plane that extends along an axis of the main body portion.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BENDING A NEEDLE
Systems and methods are disclosed for bending a needle. A device for bending a needle is disposed around a needle and coupled to an injection device. A force is exerted on the needle to cause the needle to bend upon a bending trough of the device. The device includes a proximal end to interface with the injection device and a distal end having the bending trough. The bending trough is configured to improve bending and prevent breaking of the needle by providing a rounded surface upon which the needle is bent.
