Suture Needles - It may change your suturing practice

Just another poorly understood and/or taught detail - suture needle types and their selection. I've posted about different suture materials, but the needle is a fairly important point (no pun really was intended there.)
Sadly, until today, I really didn't understand the basics - reverse cutting needle, 3/8c??. Thanks to Dr. Partridge - I"m headed in the right direction with respect to knowing what type of needle to use, when.

1/2 refers to the needle being half a circle, not half an inch; same goes to the 3/8 having three eights of a circle, meaning it has a lower arch than the 1/2.
