@ Xirod Typing the source term with Umlauts makes it easier to locate it in the glossary.

'Round body' refers to the cross section of a needle used for suturing. It is distinguished from a 'cutting' needle, which has a triangular cross section and a sharp tip. A cutting needle is used to penetrate tough tissues like skin, while a round bodied needle for softer, more fragile tissues such as muscle.
