PURPOSE: To improve the piercing property and prevent the connecting strength to a suture from being reduced by forming a silicone coating layer on the whole surface of the outer periphery of a medical suture needle, and constituting at least part of the connection face of a blind hole to the suture as the skin of the base material of the medical suture needle.

CONSTITUTION: A silicone coating layer 3 is formed on the whole surface of the outer periphery of a raw material 1, and at least part of the connection face of a blind hole 2 to a suture is constituted as the skin of a base material to manufacture a suture needle A. The silicone coating layer 3 of the suture needle A functions as an anti-friction material, thus the piercing property to the organism tissue is improved when a suture operation is performed. At least part of the inner face of the blind hole 2 is formed with the skin of the base material, the connecting strength between the base material and the suture can be maintained at a high state when the suture is inserted into the blind hole 2 and caulked.
